[QUOTE="Dunrock, post: 619296, member: 17656"] Likely very similar to many of you. I am a single dad with 14 year old son whom is living with me full time now. Diagnosed with ADHD and depression and suffers from anxiety. Personally i think he is ODD. Anyways, life is out of control. Not listening, cutting, threatens suicide, started running away, caught him with marijuana a few times and now has just started skipping school. I just read what i wrote and I just cant believe it has gotten to this level. Have seen psychologists, psychiatrists, numerous consellors. Now looking into a boarding school but likely cant afford. Really just lost at the moment. Have grounded, started taking away phone, ....Nothing works. he doesnt care about anything. A couple positives is he has stuck with playing school basketball and his grades are in the 60's and 70's so not failing out. Of course i get multiple suggestions from friends and family which i appreciate but are difficult to put in place given the situation. He has been an angry boy from birth to now. Always thought it was a phase but i now realize i was blind to all of his issues. Any help/discussion/ approaches that have worked for anyone i would be grateful for. [/QUOTE]
