[QUOTE="Rotsne, post: 227276, member: 6326"] She is 20 so she needs to live on her own. ODD as a diagnose is not useful in any way so lets forget that. Here in Europe all regards it as the normal teenage process and the professionals are really worried if a teenager are not fulfilling all the criteria for ODD. I think that she is too old to suffer from ODD. That leaves depression. I guess that she is not medicated, but who have told you that she is depressed? Anyway the answer is to set her up for a independent adult life. Does she have a job? [URL="http://jobcorps.dol.gov/about.htm"]If not see this Job Corps link[/URL]. Before calling the police, talk with the officers at your local station. I have seen horror stories about teens being shot because they acted up in a way which made the police officers believe that they were treaten. They need to know what they are called out to. You have come to the right message board. The parents here have been through hell and can tell you their stories. I pray that you can find a strategy to have her move out and begin a meaningful adult life. [/QUOTE]
