[QUOTE="detachingmother, post: 679799, member: 20063"] Oh ok, i get it more. Don't worry, I [I]ramble[/I] non-stop as you can see. lol I wish we could just slip their medications in their food sometimes. Mine did the same, refused all Tx except Adderall, but that would red flag me now. He actually quit last time treatment, bc doctor wouldn't prescribe him Adderall either. Don't give up faith. Nothing wrong with non-traditional. Personall, I agree with Dave Ramsey on this...while education is important, unless your son is planning on college and becoming something concrete (Doctor, Lawyer, Engineer, etc), that needs hard core skill, it's often a waste of money in our country. JMO I agree with DR here. Much more important to learn to be highly functional and well adjusted. Even with a GED they can go on to college. Son got his GED, then took himself down to Community College and did very well--AFTER I cut him off. He hated regular school. Basically quit on his own to the point they would not let him return, in a few schools. Not much I could do without moving around to keep him in a place he had no desire to be,....I doubt he did much work in school worth talking about since 8th grade. He was that defiant. We tend to project on others problems....I hope it doesn't seem I am doing that...just trying to give a different perspective. I knw my son is different from yours and is currently struggling tremendously, but I have to be honest, it's the Adderall I feel that set him on the most destructive path...the addiction that came after beginning to take it...and it was a FAST downward spiral. One that he got out of for awhile. But the lasting effects I think were worth noting here. [/QUOTE]
