[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 220114, member: 1550"] Hi there. I'm so sorry about the scare. I don't believe your son hates you, I think he is crying out for help. ODD rarely stands by itself and if you can get him into see a teen psychiatrist (with the MD) I think it will help a lot more than discipline. He clearly won't or CAN'T listen and has psychiatric problems, maybe is even using drugs. My focus would be on getting him help, not trying to make him behave because obviously, again, he either can't or won't (I suspect a bit of both). You may want to schedule a neuropsychologist appointment too just to check for things that Psychiatrists could easily miss. You don't have many years to help this child. At 18, there is really nothing you can do. I hope you focus on his mental health and see what else is going on or if he is abusing drugs (when they say "it's just pot" beware that it's likely more. Same with "I'm just drinking). (((Hugs))) [/QUOTE]
