[QUOTE="oceans, post: 39770, member: 2687"] Just because they call it ODD, does not mean that he is not mentally ill. At that age, it is very difficult to make a diagnoses, and often they will not make one, or they call it ODD or ADD/ODD. Often times, years later, it is clear what is really wrong and the administering correct medications will help. Even if his behavior was due to being abused, he still needs psychological help. He is out of control, and to continually threaten suicide shows that he is crying out for help. I hope that you can eventually be there for him on some level. He might not act like he needs his mom, but at 13 he really does. [/QUOTE]
