[QUOTE="busywend, post: 57825, member: 391"] Cat63, I went back to see your other post and I am sorry you only got one response. I think it is because we need more info. First a profile is helpful so people can get a quick glance at sort of a summary of your family and difficult child. So, you have a 13 year old son that is defiant and refuses treatment (medications and counseling). You mentioned depression in your first post - I assume this was from a psychiatrist? How long has your son been this way? Is there a man in the house and does he treat him the same? How does he do in school? Is there any adult he connects with/respects? A leech, huh? Did you ask the doctor to define that one? So the doctor just thinks he is a 'bad' kid, huh? Even though he has depression? I am a firm believer that most kids do WANT to be good kids. Some are not capable without interventions. Parenting a teen is hard - but parenting a difficult child (and then add on teen angst) is something non of us could have even imagined. What are you doing for yourself? You have to take care of you. Do you get time away? [/QUOTE]
