[QUOTE="Steph80000, post: 100579, member: 89"] Thanks for all of the insight and suggestions. His behavior has always been pretty bad - but the last few months it's been more intimidating and violent. I personally think it because of the kind of example he saw from his father. I don't think my son's psychiatrist and counselor believe how bad his behavior can be. I don't think he's using alcohol and/or drugs - but I could be wrong. We've tried everything we can at home. He still struggles with depression because of divorce issues. His dad divorced me three years ago and it was an extremely traumatic situation - every nightmare you could imagine. So his issues are depression (because of the divorce), learning disability (dyslexia), ADHD, struggling in school, impulsive, and explosive anger. It's discouraging to hear that some of you guys haven't had much luck with Residential Treatment Center (RTC)'s. I'm at a loss as to what else to do. I was hoping that by choosing someplace that's closer to where we live that the facility could work with the family, too. I did find a place in Cincinnati - which is a little over an hour from where we live. I've thought about boarding schools, too - ANYTHING that would help. I'm pretty desperate. Stephanie C. [/QUOTE]
