[QUOTE="Sam3, post: 728574, member: 19290"] Hi. It's been a long time, and yet he's so young. At that size, he's probably also going through early puberty and the testosterone can't be helping. In my sons treatment program there were two boys who were very prematurely mature looking, who had also kind of identified with a street element. Their parents thought it was a contributing factor -- a boy in a mans body and the weird expectations and regard that can come with that. I would imagine porn exposure/addiction for someone so emotionally immature would make it difficult to feel anything but self-loathing around your mother. And I've read it can disregulate dopamine production, which is already an issue with ADHD. Does he see a therapist or psychiatrist? Is he medicated? I don't know what has been tried, but there are programs designed for parents of kids with ODD that are supposed to be helpful in reducing conflict in the home and in reducing the likelihood that the behavior develops into full blown conduct disorder. There are also wilderness programs and therapeutic boarding schools and state interventions. [/QUOTE]
