[QUOTE="galadriel, post: 191490"] amazeofgrace, that is exactly how my sons are, they are age 16. One is bi-polar, ADHD and anxiety disorder. The other is Bi-polar Lite for lack of a proper diagnosis - he rages too but at least afterwards he feels bad about it. difficult child is always either raging or surly. He uses taking/ not taking his medications to try and manipulate me into giving him money. You never know what is going to set one or both of them off, and it doesn't take much. They call me all kinds of names, the vilest swearing you've heard. This week was rough because our school still isn't in session due to delayed construction. The boys refused to come home wed. nite, they wanted to stay in town with their friends. I called their best friend's mother and she said they could stay there. 5:00AM came the call, all boys were in police custody. Hers (he's a 16 yr old kid too, with "no brakes") was under arrest for Unauthorized Possession of Alcohol and providing same to minors. He had $5000 bail and went to jail. Mine were: #1 - getting a ticket for Criminal Tampering (he moved public works cones from a sidewalk repair into the street to stop traffic) and #2 (difficult child Lite)- had nothing happen to him, as he had drunk the beers provided and fallen asleep on a porch swing. After this all settled out I told them they were going to be staying home all weekend but when I got home from work they wanted rides to another friend's house. I said no, and things devolved from there. The arguing ended up with difficult child screaming about me buying four shirts and a pair of shoes for #2 and only getting him one during the summer. When I reminded him that he didn't get to go to the mall with us because he had refused to go to his psychiatrist appointment earlier that day, he just yelled f u. It was pretty ugly and after I had done so well all summer not getting into circular arguments with them! They then called the 2nd friend's dad without my knowledge and he actually came and got them both. I just let them go. About that time husband arrived home and he didn't want them in the house tonight, either. Neither kid can handle being asked to do anything, and neither kid can take no for an answer. It's pretty scary when they both get going but usually it's just one at a time. They are particularly stressed because they were shocked that the buddy went to jail.
