Can anyone relate to my sons behavior? If so, what diagnoses did you get for your Difficult Child?

[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 669418, member: 18958"] Holden, I think the diagnosis is the least important thing right now. I agree with others that first there is the need to identify and treat substance issues. The other thing that seems not to have been mentioned is that he may be reacting to some trauma. Males can react with anger and aggression to something like molest or even divorce. Depression can be manifested behaviorally by children. (This is not to say, it is this.) The most important thing right now is containment. To protect you and the family and he. The behaviors you describe are dangerous. I would urge you to call the police every time he acts out violently against people or property. At the least such behavior will be documented. There may be residential treatment available through mental health and the schools, paid for by them. If he is not in special education with an IEP, ED would be a possibility. Keep posting. Take care. [/QUOTE]
