[QUOTE="DDD, post: 205445, member: 35"] Yikes. It sure sounds like you have done everything possible to help him get on target. None of the experts have suggested that he has Conduct Disorder? That's kind of surprising with the criminal bent to his personality. Personally my heart goes out to you because although many of the CD members have difficult children who are rude, oppositional, vulgar etc. etc. etc., those of us with polite respectful behaving teens are on a darn seesaw of emotions because it just seems so blankin' obvious that they have the IQ, the physical capabilities, the manners, the absorbed values etc. to make a successful life. It is heartbreaking. Regardless, it is time to study Detachment 101 for your own survival and the survival of your family unit. There is not much time until he turns 18 and if he shuns interventions of love....then it's time to lay the groundwork for him accepting full responsibility for his choices as an adult. We all hurt for each other and try to help. Honestly it sounds as though you have done everything you could do and now must prepare to lead a life that is healthy for you. Many hugs. DDD [/QUOTE]
