[QUOTE="katyg, post: 557695, member: 15423"] I just found this site and while it helps to know we are not the only ones going through this, it still hurts to see my child hurting himself. We have been dealing with this type of behavior since he was 13. We have four kids. 30 and 28, high achievers, 18 year old who is working 60 hour weeks and seems to be on the right track. But our 23 year old - another story. Early childhood it was clear that he had a high temper, impatient. If something didn't work right, throw it, break it. Stealing began around 5th grade. Little things from the house, usually to give to someone. At 15 he took the stereo from his brother's car while his brother was in the military and sold it. Change, money from my purse. Cameras. We always confronted him and he always denied it. Even if you had cold hard facts. Someway he made it your fault. Total rage, fights at school. I had him in therapy, anger management, tried being more lenient, less lenient. At 16 he started staying with a girlfriend, against everything we said. We live on the border of two states and he stayed in the other state, law enforcement could not help. We filed an incorrigible petition. He spent weeks in a juvie facility, while i cried every day. Came home, was fine for about 2 weeks, then it started again. drugs, sneaking out all night. stealing. He was diagnosed ODD. Threats, tried to fight with his dad all the time. Our other kids were beyond irritated. He was the focus of everything. No vacations for us because he was either gone or would make it miserable. 10 years of this. Now he has a 2 year old son, the mom has died. Custody is up in the air. We tried letting him come back home to live with us, stole from us, his sister, his brother. How do you let go? [/QUOTE]
