Hi,
Need serious help for very,very angry 17 yr.old. Has had 2 out of home group home placements, diagnosis of ODD, Imopulse control, nothing else, and I don't see anything else. No criminal record,no drugs,etc. but main issue is dad abandoning him at age 11 or so, first placement at age 12. Continues to blame it all on me, as dad did, no respon. for anything. Am thinking of wilderness camp and have been PMing a poster who has used one. Basically, like a toddler, won;t take no for an answer,wants it all now with-o having to work for it. Won't do therapy,see a dr., see a counselor,won't do anythig of that sort. I see anger has gotten worse over past few months. Got so angry looked like he would blow yesterday, so I threatened to take him to hospital. for screening, doesn't want to go, so is lsick enough to calm himself down. At thsi age, I have learned there isn't much. Please answer with reasonable sugg. As you all know, sometimes we have come to the end of the line when you have an almost 18 yr. old.
Thanks
