Yes, I have a son. He is thirteen. He now lives with his father (as of one month ago). He's dx's with ADHD and depression. I've been reading up on all of this stuff and finding out that a lot of kids (especially boys) are misdiagnosed with ADHD when they are really bipolar.... scares the cr*p out of me... I'm hoping that I'm being paranoid and overly critical.
If his father ever told the truth, he would be dx'd as NPD. I have major depression (some say with bipolar/ hypomania tendencies). The poor kid doesn't stand a chance.
I'm not sure that I would have given birth to him if I had known then what I know now. I wish that my son was willing to work on his issues, but he's not, and he chose to live with the parent with no rules (but a wicked temper- go figure...)
I feel guilty every day
