[QUOTE="Bean, post: 377134, member: 8620"] Literally. Sounds. Like. My. Kid. I could have written your paragraph. Patriot's sounds like my kid, too. I can't tell you what is specifically wrong with your kid, but I can tell you that my daughter has been diagnosis with depression, ODD, anxiety, and my mom thinks she saw Borderline (BPD) on some papers of hers, but that is up for debate. Basically my daughter really needs to work on her behaviors, cognitively. She can benefit from medications for depression/anxiety, but she really needs to learn to work within society's limits and expectations, and that's going to be a choice she'll have to make. There's no medication to "fix" ODD. She is not on the autism spectrum, she might have ADD (I think that she was thought to have that). Problem is, my daughter likes to self-medicate. So doctors have a hard time knowing what is Girl Bean and what is the drugs talking. Weed messes her up bigtime. Booze messes her up bigtime. She's 19 now and currently off living in a shelter or something, I honestly don't know. She struggles, I can't lie. I have hope that she can turn her life around, but I am learning to accept that it might still be a long haul. My daughter is oppositional to a fault; every time she opens her mouth a lie comes out. It's been that way for years. She also doesn't like us to know much, even if it means she isn't safe. When she turned 18 we pushed and pushed her to get an ID and carry it on her because, frankly half the time we didn't know where she was and who she was with. If I could, I'd microchip her foolish butt. Even now if I had to find her, I don't know if I could. She [I]wants[/I] that, though. She doesn't like us to talk to anyone she associates with because often when people talk to each other they find out a little something called the TRUTH. :p Anyway, YES, my daughter sounds very much like yours. Only difference is time and age. But at 15, she could have been a twin. [/QUOTE]
