[QUOTE="Penta, post: 104945, member: 1644"] I had to send my girl to Residential Treatment Center (RTC) because of extreme ODD and self destructive behaviors. She was a young teen and Residential Treatment Center (RTC) cured her fast of her sloppy ways. The girls had a strict schedule to adhere to for taking care of the house they lived in top to bottom...deep cleaning, meal preparations, laundry etc. I know this is not the same as a family situation and hard to implement at home. But, by 17, any teen can do their own laundry and keep their room and bathroom clean. By 17, my girl was taking a class at community college, going to high school, and she had a weekend job. She changed from an extremely defiant young teen to a responsible young adult. It can happen. Finding a therapist your son can relate to is key. The right professional can make a world of difference It sounds like your son has a great deal going for him. I hope he can rise to meet his potential. [/QUOTE]
