[QUOTE="ksm, post: 749012, member: 12511"] Is your step son seeing a professional for his ODD? Can you and your husband be part of his therapy? Ideally, it would be wonderful if all the parents could set aside their differences and work as a team, with and for the teen. Does he split the time between both parents? Are the other children his biological siblings or step siblings? Are they younger snd intimidated by him? You are in a difficult position. You must some how come across as really wanting to get this young man help (or phrase it..."I need help" to learn how to best respond to him). Anything but..."I can't stand it any longer!" Lol. I've felt that way! I guess how you react is based on how safe you and the other children feel. There is irritating, then there is scary!! I go to Al-Anon. I started because my youngest DGD had/has addiction issues. But, the meetings help me with older DGD (we adopted both) with her ODD, now bipolar diagnosis. Ksm [/QUOTE]
