Question:
Help I have a bipolar stepson? He is 11 years old and lives with my husband and I, we have tried everything!?
We have tried medications, all kinds, he is in a special school, he sees a psychiatrist, and we can't seem to find the right thing to help him, he is so out of hand, and he already drove his natural mother crazy, so she can't be any real help! He is just so awful and I feel like I am going to lose my mind. It's so hard, does anyone have a similar situation or any suggestions that would help, I don't get anytime by myself to just relax except when I go to work, but then I feel like the next phone call will be his school or babysitter telling me he's taken off, or is out of control. His father is a major help when he is home he works 24 hours shifts, so I have him and his brother alone quite alot. I just need some answers or advice please!
Answers:
bi polar
encourage your stepson to create!
he may need several outlets
some consider bi polar a disorder
others consider bipolar a gift
it is matter of perspective and how you relate to your stepson in this regard is oh so important
encourage him to create
invest
and watch
you will be amazed of what you will reap
if you take care of him properly by encouraging him to create in a myriad of ways
you must not get confused when your stepson grows tired of one activity...sulks or even has a tantrum...
whatsamatter? can't you keep up with him? is he too much of challenge for you?
he has a gift!
appreciate his gift
