[QUOTE="Bunny, post: 398709"] I'm another one who was going to say that every same thing: he sounds depressed. What medications is he taking, if any, for the ADHD? Does he see a psychiatrist? Maybe you should make an appointment to be seen by the psychiatrist as soon as you can get him in. Also, will he go see a therapist? From your post it sounds as if this behavior started after his father layed into him about giving you hassles and refusing to go to school and other activities. Is this the first time his fater has spoken to him like this? The first time he's seen this said of his father's personality? Maybe he needs to talk to someone who can help him work through his feeling about how it made him feel when his father spoke to him. Since you seem to be the parent who handles the day to day struggles it may be that your X was no aware that the srtuggles were occuring. I think that he should be brought it more in connection with your son's behavior. I'm not saying that he needs to rush over to your house every time your son won't do something, but the father should be made aware that your son is being so defiant and what it really occuring in your house. By not telling him what is going on he can't back you up and you will always end up being the bad parent. PAm [/QUOTE]
