[QUOTE="TheSuperMommyfor3, post: 114280, member: 4483"] All this info really helped. I see that alot of people are going through the same thing. Wouldn't it be great if everyone had to wear a sign telling the truth about their family! Then the rest of us wouldn't feel like we did something wrong or that we were somehow to blame because we don't have perfect kids. My story is almost the same line as jgreen03's. My difficult child is 17, male and he has ADHD. He has always been very strong willed and hard to get along with even though he is quite intelligent (which makes things worse) and very witty & funny. I guess my hubby and I just didnt' see the signs. My easy child & other difficult child were talking and realized that everyone else saw the problems but we were the last to know. My difficult child had started showing some real problematic symptoms. Basically, his entire behavior changed last year and he lost interest in the things he used to love. His peer group changed completely. I took him to a therapist for two weeks and then the very next week right before Christmas, he was arrested for possession of pot and evading arrest. They gave him a misdemeanor on both charges. Lucky duck. My hubby and I bailed him out. You would think his behavior had changed but no way. He is worse. We then took him to a drug counselor and have done so at least 3 times since. He has agreed to do screenings and will stop drugs. He says. But the counselor doesn't think that it will happen and that he will eventually have to go to treatment which we are all for at this point. He is a leech and a liar. When he is at home he is always trying to work everyone. I am so embarrassed and angry with him. I try not to show anything to him. We are all smiles and nice to him. But it is tearing our family apart. difficult child will have to go to court soon. And he has threatened to move out several times. He may or may not graduate in May and will turn 18 the first week of June. I just don't know what to do. I am going crazy thinking about this stuff all the time. He is holding us all hostage.
