MONTREAL – Tony Stephan’s life was coming unglued.
'In 1994, the 40-year-old engineer from Cardston, Alta., thought his 210-pound teenage son might kill him.
Joseph, 15, had been diagnosed with bipolar disorder and although medicated had violent mood swings. Once a gentle giant of a kid, he would explode into violent rages.
“He assaulted my wife. We were all afraid for our lives,” Stephan said in an interview. “My son was insane.”
But that was just the half of it. Severe bipolar disorder runs in the family.

Stephan was losing it. He had just buried his wife. It seemed to him his son and daughter were next.
