Mom? What's a difficult child?
I hate all of this I just wish there was some way to know what was wrong with our kids for sure!!!
I am just convinced 100% that difficult child 1 is Bipolar... how it will develop I am not sure... As Dr. Pavuluri said to us she is a classic Bipolar case. All of the signs and symptoms and the genetics... but if someone said difficult child 2 was BiPolar (BP) I would be hesitant, due to her age. (although she is is showing some signs, but she is showing signs and symptoms much differently also) With difficult child 1 if she hadn't been exhibiting such extreme symptoms of Early Onset Bi-Polar (EOBP) and we didn't have such a huge family history I might not have taken the diagnosis so easily.
I don't know I just know that we as paretns have such a hard time even taking these steps without always being questioned. But someone needs to ask questions, I just wish it didn't always leave me feeling like I was making my child a guinea pig just for the fun of it... or like that is how others feel on the outside... I know warrior mom!!!
