[QUOTE="Ephchap, post: 158733, member: 27"] Tore, First of all, welcome. As mentioned above, I'm sorry you had to find us as that means things are really falling apart. This is a very supportive group though and most on here have either been where you are or are still going through it. I'm a little confused too. In your signature, you list a 13 year old difficult child, but it sounds like this son is older? He's not in your signature, so I'm not sure how old. I too wonder if marijuana is the only drug, since you said he was never like this before. My son was never destructive or as disrespectful as he was while drugging - much harder drugs than we realized. That's how I found this site. I was researching what could possibly be wrong, as he fit every criteria for conduct disorder. He wasn't. What he was - was drugging - with crack cocaine. Now, before you fall on the floor, I am certainly not even remotely suggesting that's what your son is doing. What I am suggesting is that there is definitely something going on, if his behavior changed that quickly. Have you ever had him admitted for a psychiatric consult at an adolescent psychiatric hospital or substance abuse hospital? I have more questions, but will wait until I know how old he is and what you have tried so far. I do agree with above, however. You have to ask yourself what you would tolerate, as far as the anger, the destruction, etc. The destruction certainly sounds like it's escalating, which is what worries me. I'm sending supportive hugs and again, welcome. Deb [/QUOTE]
