[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 247253, member: 1550"] Hi there. Welcome, and I'm sorry you have to be here. I personally never tried boarding schools or wilderness camps. in my opinion the wilderness camps sound like just a short-term thing, and not a fix. I know NOTHING about boarding schools. It sounds like he needs therapy, not discipline. I'd go the residential treatment route before trying a boarding school. The way he is now, he will probably just get thrown out and it sounds like he needs a lot of high supervision. I have a few questions that can help us give you better suggestions. First of all, throughout your Boy 2's life has he had any neuropsychologist evaluations to see if more is going on than ADHD? Are there are psychiatric problems on either side of the family tree OR substance abuse? Sad to say, he may be doing more than pot. I had a druggie daughter who has since quit--but she is very honest about the drug times with me. Most kids say, "I'm just smoking pot" and hope their parents believe it and they usually do, but it is often just the tip of the ice berg. Scarilyl, ADHD medications are highly abused. My daughter abused them. THey are crushed in pillcrushers and snorted either alone or with other stuff, then they need downers for sleep. Also, are you his biological father? Is he willing to be in any therapy? You may want to post a signature like I have below. [/QUOTE]
