[QUOTE="Alex's Mom, post: 720339, member: 22036"] Our 12 year old son has been diagnosed with ADHD, ODD and Pervasive Developmental Disorder (PDD). We adopted him from Russia at the age of 13 months old, and we're having severe issues with ODD behaviors. He uses swears, uses vulgar language especially toward me, hand gestures, spits in my face, hits, bites, and refuses to comply until he gets us to escalate. he hates me and targets both me and my husband, but especially me since I've had to be the at home parent and disciplinarian. He's obsessive, interested in guns, video games (especially Grand Theft Auto which he downloads over and over again since we don't allow it and and delete it), and steals our credit cards. We've had to change the numbers 3 times this past summer. For quite a while he was buying things and having them sent to the house without our knowledge. This is costing us our marriage and family. I'm anxious to find out other parents' ideas for help. We try to keep him as busy as possible, but it's really hard. He doesn't do well with following directions (organized sports). Does anyone know of any theraputic boarding schools? Any news on the Montana Ranch that was discussed in previous threads. [/QUOTE]
