ORIGINAL: Daddysredhead Tammy, I'm sorry that you understand all too well what I'm talking about. My ex has BPD (rapid cycling) and Thing 1 does, too. My ex never stayed on his meds because he preferred to drink heavily and self-medicate. Oh well, he doesn't live with me anymore, and I think he may have slowed down on the drinking some, but he'll never admit that he has BPD because he sees that as an imperfection for his "image." Anyway... I wish you much success with your Thing. If you think that he may benefit from treatment, all I can say is don't put it off. If I wouldn't have gotten him help when Thing 1 was 8, all I would have left of him now is a headstone. *hugs for the momma* (edited for major typo) Thanks Red!! Your always so sweet! Even when Your going through the hardest of times! My fear is that of putting a child on ridiline type thing. My fear is that sometimes the meds make things so much worse, but i do agree and fear the headstone in the future as that is how his father went at age 34. He too self medicated and drank, got in with the wrong bunch after i left him and started the oxycotin cocaine thing along with enough beer to get us all wasted, and they found him one morning dead in his truck so sad. and i can tell ya its the worst feeling in the world to get that phone call and have to tell the kids, a day ill never forget a funeral ill never understand and still haunts me to this day. My mom had to tell us that our father passed away three girls ages 12,8,4 me being the youngest and i still will never forget the sights the sounds the smells the thoughts. Its been hell worrying about the kids knowing what theyve been through andthen for their mom to go down so hard with the damn fibro....but they are doing ok especially my lil girl the oldest, even though she still cries alot about her daddy she is amazing beyond belief, my son is a prankster, but again serious issues, throwing things at my door when he doesnt like what i say, rages fits constant crying and whinning, all still at the age of 7. im at a lose to know what to do, therapy meds.... sometimes its to surreal to believe, but i know ive been thinking nothing but of late as to what to do which will include a doctor first....sighs thanks dear red your so awesome hang in there girl !!
