[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 215149, member: 1550"] Hi, Debi. Whoa. You deserve some fragrant candles and a bubblebath too! I'm sorry that especially hub is acting like this kid can be written off. Is he his father or a stepfather? Has he ever been good with him? I am also married to a military vet and sometimes they can be very rigid and think everything could be solved if only the right discipline was applied. I had to sensitize my hub to his Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) son. I do think you could use some therapy, maybe family therapy. As for your son, when was the last time he was evaluated? Rather than ADHD/ODD, he could have emergent bipolar, especially if any mood disorders or substance abuse are on either side of his genetic family tree. If so, he may have never had a chance to be stable or get on the right medications. I'm not a big fan of a CD diagnosis. It's not useful, just points out bad behavior, and we already KNOW his behavior is self-destructive. There is no solution for CD, but it is rarely a stand alone diagnosis. And are you certain that he isn't using recreational drugs or drinking? That can make our troubled children even worse... [/QUOTE]
