[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 567294, member: 1550"] Have any of your sons, including this one, ever been evaluated by a neuropsychologist to see if an underlying disorder is causing his behavior? Are there any psychiatric or neurological differences (severe ADHD/autism) on either side of your son's family tree. This includes their sperm donor because he has contributed 50% to their DNA so he lives on with you (sadly, I"m sure). I had a drug abusing daughter (another possibility) who was very disrespectful and full of rage during her drug abuse years. Maybe you should look into drug use or alcohol abuse. But my main point is that the younger two kids did NOT copy her behavior. I don't believe kids deliberately copy their siblings. In fact, my younger two k ids saw enough not to touch drugs and are both very law abiding (with a few typical teen exceptions) and good kids. Perhaps there is something that runs in the family tree that hasn't been addressed? At least not yet? The odds of all your children becoming dysfunctional because of the oldest one is in my opinion not a good one. Something is probably going on. Since your son is sixteen and you only have two more years to help him (and yourself from his behavior) I would try to get him to agree to a neuropsychologist evaluation to see what is going on with him. A therapist would not be knowledgeable enough. I would also spot drug test him just to be sure. Due to his age, however, if he threatens you in any way, I would call the cops too. If he runs, he runs. They'll find him. More likely, he'll call you, scared and desperate. Hugs and keep posting. [/QUOTE]
