[QUOTE="DDD, post: 389431, member: 35"] Welcome. You have found a wonderful place for support and we're glad to have you. It sounds to me like you're headed in the right direction. [B]Many [/B]of us have or have had teens who can be defined as beyond our understanding. When you know that there have been no apparent triggers for that behavior and when you know you have done and are continuning to do everything possible to help...it's terribly depressing! Quite a few of us have discovered that substance abuse was the root of the problems but it doesn't sound as though he is connected to the opportunity to use. Why you wait for the evaluation perhaps you could inquire about family counseling. At least then your husband would be able to hear what difficult child is saying. From extended family experience I do tend to think that military Dads have a more difficult time coping with insubordination. on the other hand sometimes it is necessary to keep a little distance from the difficult child for awhile so emotions can stabilize.....don't feel guilty! Sending caring thoughts your way. DDD [/QUOTE]
