[QUOTE="runawaybunny, post: 639623, member: 1"] Hi @[USER=18543]defiantchild[/USER]. Sorry things are so tough. It's miserable living with difficult child's sometimes. What I see from your description is that you son is a smart kid that is defiant and hates school. Doing well at his job is a great thing but smoking so much pot probably isn't helping his attitude. I see it as a good sign that he wants to get his GED and go to culinary school. That means that he has goals and a sense of what he wants to do with his future. To me that seems very hopeful for his future. As far as kicking him out a 16 year old you should probably make sure that it's legal where you live. There was a point in my own parenting journey where I kicked my difficult child out, but she was over 18 at the time. Here's some info about the long term outcome of ODD/CD written by Dr. James Chandler: [url]http://jamesdauntchandler.tripod.com/ODD_CD/oddcdpamphlet.htm#_Toc179711708[/url] [/QUOTE]
