[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 501276, member: 1550"] We really need more info to have good possible answers for you. I am so sorry you are having a hard time right now. My daughter gave me fits when she was 12-19. Because of my daughter, I need to ask you if you are POSITIVE that your teenage son is not dabbling in drugs/alcohol. My daughter was and we didn't know it (call me Denial or Stupid...either fits). That changed her from a sweet if insecure child into a monster and drugs can do that to any child. Some people with younger difficult child's don't automatically think of drug use, but it's such a huge factor with difficult child teens, most of us with teenage difficult children do wonder about this issue. Scary, I know. Aside from that question, can you please give us some background on your child's very early history? Was he always a problem? Did he have any chaos happen in his life either in the distant past or currently? Any psychiatric problems or substance abuse on either side of his biological family tree, even if he never sees one side of his family? (He is still 50% his birthfather's DNA). On that subject, what are your family dynamics? Two biological parents? Siblnigs? Stepfamily? Any possible abuse in his background? in my opinion we simply don't know enough to tell you much. HOWEVER...whenever teens suddenly change, if, in fact, this is a sudden change, it is always smart to consider the ugly specter of drug abuse. Hope to hear more about your child so I can help more.
