[QUOTE="dcwsaranac, post: 130328, member: 4746"] Sounds like ADHD+ODD+'Eighteenitis' ADHD and ODD are difficult enough, but add the 'eighteenitis' and it's beyond mere parenting. I've seen this type of behavior in dealing with troubled teen boys before. (have experience in fostering troubled teen boys) I was lucky enough not to have to deal with it first hand, but can tell you that the only success stories have been with parents that either called the police or got them in for an involentary (sp?) committment to the regional mental health hospital. Neither is easy, but the first step to stopping the behavior is to stop enabling it. The fact that he is eighteen makes it most difficult - he's immature and not ready to take on life on his own, but legally an adult. I'll be praying for them. [/QUOTE]
