Thank you for your question and welcome to HealthCentral's ADHD Community.

 

As a mother, I think it is important to demand respect from your children. If they are disrespectful, you have the right to tell them to stop or to not be around them.

 

As far as your son telling you that he believes you have bipolar, is your son a doctor? Does your son have some medical creditentials or knowledge of bipolar that he would be able to determine that you have bipolar?If not, then his words may simply have been to hurt you.

 

There is a bipolar site here at HealthCentral that you can visit to find some additional information. I am not sure if there is an online test, but there is extensive information:
