[QUOTE="rbenson, post: 425927, member: 11892"] Hi, I'm new to this site but share everybody's pain. I have a 13 y/o difficult child who delights in tormenting. He's always had a tendency toward impulsivity and vocal tics along with ODD at home. Not at school. Saves it for home. He seems to be fairly directionless, needing a lot of structure. this behavior is directed more at me than his mom who doesn't react much. He has found an accomplice in his 11 y/o sister who is easy child 1. He likes to bring her down to his level. I'm at my wits end but am thankful I found this group and thread. I'm worried about future antisocial behaviors, substance use and the like. I like the response about the importance of success and the cost of it. I'm also hoping that some medicine might help his frontal lobes to be more self directed and to decrease the need he has for adrenaline rushes. He's on Tenex but I don't see any benefit. I'm close to trying him on stimulants now but afraid that we might see a worsening of this behavior. Maybe someone has some experience with this?? Appreciate any and all comments. [/QUOTE]
