[QUOTE="aWillowBreeze, post: 378353"] Intro ..I see SO many topics and unknown abbreviations, i know it will take a little time to figure things out. I ran across this board by chance and hopeful it & its members can help me find the strength and peace of mind to deal with the situations my barely 18yr old son creates and perhaps some good advice on how to respond to them as well. A quick summary would be that my son was diagnosed "borderline" adhd but stopped taking his medications years ago. It has also been suggested he was ODD. He lies, steals, and uses others as long as he gets what he wants out of it.. He did not graduate in June as we'd hoped. Just since last november he's moved in and out of our home, his biological fathers home (whom went AWOL from his life for 8yrs returning when our son was 17) ..and an ex-stepmothers home (who is believed to be addicted to painkillers and possibly crack). Most recent situation.. My son has no diploma, no job, no car, lost his license. I've worked hard with the school & my schedule to arrange for my son to attend night "rescue classes". I offered all transportation from his bio-dads home to school and back,even clothing, food..etc It would only be 4 hrs,3 nights a week and he could have a diploma by the holidays. He has faked sick and refused to go to the 1st 3 classes. He asked for $15 to go to the Dr. yesterday (he needs the excuse if he wants to be allowed to continue the program). I offered him a check made out to the Dr. and he essentially refused it by trying to claim the Dr. would not take a check and why was i "being like that" . Our son has only been in the Ex's current home for 3 wks and he's already recieved 3 calls from the landlord with complaints. I was informed last night he would be kicking him out this weekend. My ex was evicted from his last apt. due to our son's behavior just a couple months ago..so i admit i understand his position on this particular subject. I have been in tears this morning with this knowledge and the all too common sinking feeling that you just don't know where or what my son will do next.. Appreciate those who took the time to read this far.. Me : 38 Stay at home mom going on 12 yrs now! husband: 46 married for 15 yrs.. Step-D 24 On her own,some college, works hard, has 4yr old daughter. Son.. "see above" Daughter 11 : Good Student, quiet Independent, Can be tempermental and Sassy. Daughter 8: Outgoing & social, struggles in school, VERY talkative, prone to temper tantrums [/QUOTE]
