Thank you all so much for posting your comments to me. Sometimes this road of trying to get your bipolar child help is a lonely one.
Ya know the more I think about it they should definately have a bipolar advocacy program in each state for children, and adults for that matter, so that they get the proper treatment and not just medicated into submission.
Here is the current unprofessional drama happening with my son:

Thank you all so much for emails of support you have sent since my sons incident last month...it really helped alot...thank you!
My son is doing much better - he has come to terms with the fact that he needs to accept help to get his bipolar under control. He was thinking that he could control the symptoms of this disorder by himself, this is why he was refusing help. Now he knows he needs to learn fully about it and accept the professional help that has been offered to him. This is the first step in the long road to recovery and I know he can do it...he is a smart boy!

This blog will be put on hold and writing will be suspended until further notice.
My bipolar son almost succeeded last night in killing himself.
Please keep him in your prayers.
I have 2 sons. My oldest is bipolar, 16 1/2 and the reason for this blog. My youngest turns 15 today (His photo is to the left).
About 6 months ago I had to send my youngest to his dads as being around my oldest was not any good for him. He was doing things he shouldn't have been and I had to do something so he wouldn't end up in huge trouble like his brother...so I sent him to his fathers 2.5 hours away from me. Then 1 month later my oldest had a runaway incident and he landed in a hospital in Utah - 9 hours away. Now I am without children and have had a heck of a time adjusting to it...I have had my babies since I was a teenager and its been pretty hard to deal with...

Ok so now I am going to vent...
Yesterday I was at a clients house and we got on the subject of bipolar and how she thought she was bipolar. She was upset about this and so I thought I would share my diagnosis to make her feel better. BIG MISTAKE!
When I told her she looked at me like I was going to turn into a big green monster and tear her to shreds! She literally scooted her chair a few inches away and kept staring at my eyes like she expected them to monster morph if she said the slightest thing wrong!
I was so upset by her reaction! I only told her to make HER feel better!
So I wonder...how many others have told people about their diagnosis and been treated like a creature who will reek havoc on anyone in their way...
That just PISSED me off!
The ignorance of man NEVER ceases to amaze me...
