*hugs poen* I wish it were just an adolescent tanrum, but it's part of his bipolar disorder. Once in a while, it gets the better of him, and he loses it big time. We know what it is, but it doesn't always make it any easier to deal with. It's terrible when it happens, and it's especially painful when he comes back, sobbing to me, apologizing, telling me he loves me, and asking why we can't make this stupid illness just go away. Just as I anticipated, he came in from talking with his dad, crying his heart out, telling me something I couldn't understand because he was crying so hard. All I could do was hold him, go to the big reclining chair, hold him in my arms like a little child on my lap, and kiss his head and tell him that I love him and that I was sorry I got mad, too. I love that he wants immediate resolution, like me. I'm also glad that, at 5'5" and 140 pounds, he's still not too "big" to just sit on Mom's lap and curl up and cry it out, knowing that I'm on his side. I'm grateful that he's now sound asleep.
