That doesn't sound like anybody with bi-polar disorder I ever knew. The kid sounds psychotic and in serious need of discipline. He's up and down like a yoyo. That little girl having to live in that home is not healthy, and is downright child abuse. One can only imagine what James' behavior will be when he becomes a teenager. He sounds like he's jealous of his little sister and a sadistic bully. Maybe they should see if there is something wrong with that mother.

I couldn't read the whole thing because there was too much pathology there. Where was the father?

Maybe I shouldn't comment as I'm not a professional. Lord have mercy is right.

Agreed. My mom was bipolar so I am familiar with the swings - a mad ascent into irrationality that would eventually require hospitalization followed by descent into darkest gloom. Never was there a hint of the behavior mentioned here. Sounds more like an extremely spoiled child who enjoys ruling the roost.
