[QUOTE="maril, post: 232486, member: 5937"] He'll be 18 in Sept. Major issues: 1. Chronic tardiness and unexcused absences from school - working with school since beginning of year - currently on verge of being placed in yet another school. 2. Substance abuse - Suspended from D&A OP partial - can be considered for readmit after 30 days. 3. ADHD, ODD - has been on board with same BH facility for one year - continued with psychiatrist throughout but currently medication free (issues with-stimulant and an SSRI); first counselor there not much effect - now have family counselor and case manager on board but difficult child skipped appointment. last week (husband and I went, though). Referred us to Crisis Intervention for emergent svcs - have enlisted their help but waiting for referral to go through for home-based assignment. 4. Tough nut to crack - have restrictions in place but continues to miss bus (school is far - can't get ride every day if bus missed); party boy stays out at times all night; when confronted, becomes violent; also destroys our property (two doors). As either the case mgr or therapist remarked, difficult child is "holding us hostage." There are days when difficult child is compliant but other days where he is completely out of control. [/QUOTE]
