[QUOTE="klmno, post: 219065, member: 3699"] Hi and welcome!! You need some help- and your son needs some help. It's ok- we all have issues like that in our families, at least here on this board. Was you son ever evaluated or tested by a neuropsychologist when he was younger? There are many pshychologist who do this up to 17 or 18 yo, if you can afford it and your son will cooperate. It can be expensive but insurance should pay for part of it. That might help. I would also reccomend a child & adolescent psychiatrist. I realize that your son is an older teen, but since there was some indication that he was struggling before he reached this age, it's my opinion that this would be the best route. Finding a good therapist- or at least the right fit- is very difficult, especially when the person who needs it most doesn't want to acknowledge that they need any help. I'm sorry you are struggling through this- it sounds like you have spent years struggling through a lot. There is a lot of support and wisdom and experience here- I hope you stick around and get some much-needed acceptance! Also- have you checked for any indications of illegal drug use? I'm sure you are aware that this could be contributing to the problem. Maybe do a drug test on him?? [/QUOTE]
