Hi,
Please give him a chance to get his medicines straightened out.
The Seroquel / Quetiapine might be helping him but the other ones seem not to be helping. And you do not know yet if the Seroquel / Quetiapine is at the right dose.
Does he still have agitation, mood swings, headaches, pains, and paranoia?
When you refer to him as pushing boundaries, I feel that you have no idea what he is going through.
Bipolar people do not push boundaries like a healthy 15 year old does. Your son is very sick. It is hard for a parent (or anyone) to grasp the full degree of the the bipolar illness and brain injuries.

He usually sleeps until about noon then says he doesn't get any sleep.

That is correct. We do not get the right kind of deep sleep that normal people get. The medications interfere with the stages of sleep that are necessary to wake up feeling rested.
I am sorry that your son hurt your wife.
Try to avoid those kinds of talks with him for a while.
The reason he seems that he has a negative attitude is because he is very very sick. He needs better treatment than he is getting right now.
When the medicine is straightened out, he will feel better and act nicer.
