Hi all. Still agonizing over whether or not to seek residential care for my son. The more i research ADHD/ODD/CD the more i feel like i cant help him. Since the suicide threat last week we have had a couple of fits. (what a small word that is for such a big tantrum) I have also been finding more and more evidence of him stealing things. I caught him with a pack of gum up his sleeve on the way out of Wally world a couple of days ago. I have since gone through his room and was shocked at the amount/variety of things he had squirreled away in there. I ended up stripping his room of pretty much everything but his bed. Even took the dresser out of there. This was done because he also destroys things. In the past week he tore the zipper out of his leather coat, ripped buttons off of shirts, shredded a plant and got into a sewing kit and stole all the scissors, a razor blade and several pins and needles.
