Hi my name is Donna and I have a 15 year old stepson who just recently moved in with us (4 months). My stepson was living with his mother and brother in another state and was totally out of control. Refused to go to school, cursing out teachers, principles, bus drivers and so on. Very poor grooming and horrible socialization skills. There is so much to say as he has been a difficult kid. Upon his arrival to our home he cursed me out and was right up in my face trying to intimidate me and on the second day assaulted his own father. He threatened to kill my son who is 14 years old. He has a long history of hurting animals as well. He is now being home schooled as he only gets involved with drama, fighting and trying to manipulate people. We decided to home school him after he threatened to send another student out of school in a body bag.
We had him comitted to a pych hospital for teens and they did absoultly nothing for us. They diagnosed him with adhd, mood disorder and ODD. We than took him to a Psch Dr who also added conduct disorder to the list.
He is constantly lyeing about everything. Just the other day it was his birthday and he pretended to fall on the floor to pretend he fainted to get out of doing school work. Well when my husband got home we decided to take him to the hospital to be checked (just to make sure nothing was wrong) When we got to the hospital he still held up the lye and told the dr and nurses that this has been happening since december and only happens MONDAY throug Friday and never on the weekends. Needless to say we spent 6 hours in the E.R for nothing.
My husband and I are always fighting and argueing over what to do. How do you deal with the lyeing, fighting stealing and screaming.
He had also ran away from home after meeting a neighborhood girl and thought in his mind that they were friends forever. Needless to say the cops showed up at the girls house and he told them my husband beat him. Then when he came home he told us the girls mother had hit him on the arm with a wooden spoon to make brusises so my husband would go to jail. He has confessed days later that it was all a lye.
Also we have had Child protective services at our house do to his lyes. They closed the case, but how can we protect ourselves and the other child who lives here as well. He just consumes every minute of every day.
I am just so tired of not being able to have some down time.
He is always stealing. When he came to live with us he had 3 different credit card numbers with the experation, and 3 digit code. He also had a couple of Social security numbers.
He also feels that he is a girl as well. He is very femine and loves to dress and act like a girl.
The part that really concerns me is there is no emotion, no tears ever. Never feels he has done anything wrong that its everyone else never him. He never apologizes for anything.
Please any advise would be greatfully appreciated. I just don't know how much more I can hold on. My husband and I hardly ever agree on how to handle him.
