Been some tough patches

Cant believe how long it is has been, but so much has been going on I have, sometimes don't which end is up. My son has been truly cycling hard. I know some of it has to due with hormones and the other is not taking his meds like he is supposed to.

I do keep track when he doesn't take them and keep a chart of his behaviors, so when he refuses to go see his psychrist I go in and let the person know what he has been up to, what has been triggering him and then he will call my son on the phone and they will talk. This has only happened twice but it is irritating.

He hates therapy because as far as he is concerned he is content the way he is. I understand he is happy being home and not being at school because he can be in his room safe from critisim and judgment, however I tell him education is very important. I wish he could see this now!!!

I did get it arranged to where he could go to another school that is smaller and he would have to go only one hour a week to get his assignment's and do the home work at home. Will he do it. No because he finds the school to be in a scarry area, which I don't blame him there, from the outside it does look a little rough. But the teachers are very nice and equipped to handle him if he would only go.

I have worked my tail off of keeping him out of the system but if he continues to not go to school it is a possibility of truancy once again. It is a visicious circle. I wish there were smaller schools for our children so they could feel safe, where the teachers are able to educate our children according to their needs. I also wish for better healthcare for our children who suffer with bipolar disorder. Hopefully someday that will happen.

Sorry this is short this time, but I am going to tell you to keep strong, always have a support system and don't give up on your child.
