[QUOTE="Dragon3666, post: 329698, member: 8697"] Hello, I am working simular issues with my son who is also 16. Was ODD since 5 yrs old and some things regarding the 1,2,3 Magic worked when he was younger - now nothing works. I now have him on medications for the anger part of it cause he was very close to abusing us as a family. It was out the door or Depression/Aniety medications. The medications keep him slightly less angry and frustrated. Alot of these kids are extremely depressed or bi-polar. Its almost ruined our marriage and he has disconnected with his older sister almost and has very little relationship with his little brother. I am on pins and needles everytime he walks in the door. Does not get involved too much with family items either.Unfortunately from what I am hearing it is a tough love situation for all of us. Conduct disorder is already a serious problem for you and I am very close to this condition with my son as well. Been in trouble with the law but nothing major yet. I am now looking at the PINS program in case this is the only way to go going forward. He is already kicked out of school and is going to an alternative program in the area. He is using cigarettes now and uses weed. Its a common thing with ODD and Coduct disorder. I am at my wits end also and cry alot. I through his stuff out constantly. I won't have it in my house. He brings it in - I tear his room apart and throw everything out. DO NOT take any physical abuse from the kid. Arrest him if you have to. He almost struck me once - it would be his last time. Sometimes we think as parents we did something wrong. I have a 19 year old daughter who is just fine. I am beginning to realize its not us - its them and they need to change or follow hard times. The only thing left is the security of his home. PINS maybe your only way out now. Its a step that is hard - let me know how you do. I am having a small REVIST the rules session this week with my son - One last attempt before I think he will either comply, walk out or be kicked out. My gut aches everyday. He knows I am always here to help him but not dig him out. I have not given up on him - he is giving up on himself. Once they give up on themselves - its a tough road back. I am dying everyday myself and hope I can actually follow through with the tough love cause I am afraid it will be the only thing to save my family.:anxious: [/QUOTE]
