[QUOTE="tiredmommy, post: 543977, member: 1722"] While Allan is correct that building a strong relationship with your son is important, you also need some ideas to protect your family and your son from his poor choices. Is it possible he's selling his medications? That could explain why they suddenly became "ineffective". I agree with a Families Anon meeting, and some counseling or other activities for the other kids. At 15, you are probably going to have to let your son fail, not be cause you want to, but because he doesn't want to succeed. He has to want to do well in life at least as much as you want for him. Also, if he's willing, you may want a new evaluation just to ensure that the ADHD diagnosis is still accurate. Also, any rehab he does in the future should be for dual diagnosis: substance abuse and his ADHD. [/QUOTE]
