[QUOTE="Allama, post: 279355, member: 6511"] Well I live in WV. Any kind of evaluations are almost completely out of the question. I agree that he needs one. I've never believed in the ADHD diagnoses. husband and bio mom would have to agree to it, and that's just not going to happen. She has never spent more than a few weeks with him, and most of the time she worked. She really is under the impression that we aren't disciplining him enough. I don't know how effective you guys have found discipline to be, but with us, it has not worked at all. We've tried a lot. It's never had an effect. He was on medications (concerta) for awhile, but there was no positive effects at all, so we stopped them. This woman is in for a rude awakening when he moves in with her and she doesn't know it. We've tried to explain, but again, she thinks it's just us doing a bad parenting job. I don't think I could call the police. I just don't think I could do it. Not for him being abusive to me anyway. He has been abusive to the younger kids before, and I've said never again at least 3 or 4 times. Also, he is leaving next month. It's just got to the point were even day to day interactions are painful. I can't even give this kid dinner without hours of screaming. I'm just stressed out. I feel like I can't deal with another day, and I feel that way every day, lol. [/QUOTE]
