[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 110575, member: 1550"] I agree that the structure is probably making a big difference. No matter how much he wants to do well, if you take him out and he doesn't do well at home--what are you going to do? Sounds like he's already been in serious trouble. You can keep him out of school (I personally don't think it's a bad idea, especially if he tends to drift towards negative peers), however what are you going to do if he acts out with YOU? Plus you can't really keep in with you all the time. If he gets into trouble with the law again, then what? Are you comfortable with his diagnosis? Any mood disorders on the family tree? Substance abuse? Even with all the help he's getting, he could still be misdiagnosed. It's not uncommon for our kids to be overdiagnosed/misdiagnosed. If he is, he could need different medications to help him control himself or with his destructive moods/impulses. Mom was never there--I'm assuming she had pretty bad problems that she could have passed along... I do wish you luck, whatever you decide to do. [/QUOTE]
