Nope. No drug use. He talks about drinking, but has always been opposed to drugs (though he often informs me how pot is no big deal in order to get a rise out of me). He does seem to be painfully honest at times... about things sons would never tell their mothers (amazing quality of his odd...

Yes. That does seem to capture it.

My son is now 19 and not living at home. He moved out a week after he turned 18. He has dropped out of school, and works jobs here and there. He has been living with various friends, and families in our city. Was in the next state over for a few weeks when he thought he was a dad, but...

Hey everyone! It has been awhile, but this has bothered me for years. What do you all do to deal with the lack of cooperation? How do you keep sane? My son is almost 18 and going to be a senior. He eats all the time. He also cooks. He does not join in family meals, if he does he does not...

My son, 18 in June, started out break with a bang. Holes in his bedroom walls, swearing away at dad, trying to pull me in. He settled down later that evening, but my husband and I were at a loss. No family available to take him, my husband took my son and they both went to husband's sister for the...

Thanks for the kind words. Yes, we are moving on with years of treatment. he has had services since 6 years old. I believe that on Nov 20, his court date, he will be removed by the court. What I am looking for now is voluntary placement for 30 days. We give up rights for 30 days voluntarily...

My son is being very difficult daily. He is under a court order to follow rules of home, community and school and is failing to follow those rules. He fights every request and demand to help around the house, pick up his things, follow rules that everyone else follows. He ignores some rules...

Thank you for your support.

I have been away from this site for years. I have returned because my son has recently been diagnosed with Conduct Disorder to go along with his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) diagnosis. I was on this site four years ago as we dealt with property destruction and aggression. He is back again with a vengeance. This time...

It has been a while since I last posted. Today I am back. All of you know what I am talking about. Had to call the cops after he hit me with a jacket from the back seat while I was driving. It was a dumb visit from the police, but I did what my safety plan says I will do. Called for his...

No kidding. I get it as well. And I am just as frustrated. Ughhh!

Thanks. It sounds like you have your hands full. Thanks for taking the time to send me a note. Thinking of you too.

Man. This has been a rough few days. difficult child's language is so foul. The latest string of insults cannot be repeated. I am amazed, honestly. I can't figure out what to do about it. It sounds as if many of you deal with difficult child's that yell and curse at you. I have been encouraged to ignore it, but...

We are frustrated. Today I really am. difficult child argues and love/hates to. Now he is disagreeing and arguing with what he has earned and spent with his points(token economy). We have tried behavior plans on and off for years. After the first couple years on one token economy when he was 5, a...

It sounds to me like you are on a good road. Getting help in the home is one of the best ways I think. I am impressed that your area has in home services that spend so much time "in home." Our in home services are very limited. We thought we made a breakthrough when we received home based...

He is alright. He is home. The stress test showed what great shape he is in. If you asked me they didn't test him with the correct stress. They needed to do the test with difficult child standing in the room yelling. Anyway they did talk to husband about breathing and working on dealing with the stress on...

He just texted. Had tests and his heart is good. He is staying for further testing for his exhaustion. Thank you for your prayers.

husband just took himself to emergency. His chest hurts. He believes it is stress over difficult child. Pray for him and us.

Thanks all. Your comments give me hope. Perhaps age will help. Let's hope. In the meantime we are looking at new medications. Dr. called yesterday a.m. He had been on vacation and wanted to get back to me right away. We discussed options (he has slowly gone off his Abilify, which might be the...

What do you all do to deal with the constant blame that your difficult child puts on you? My difficult child blames me for lost glasses, lost socks, fish that die, his slipping down the stairs, not having the cereal he wants, his not being ready for things on time, etc. It is endless and exhausting. I walk away...
