[QUOTE="nvts, post: 59078, member: 3814"] Try putting the ball in his court. For example: "you won't talk to anyone about the obvious problems" "right" "I want to have you talk to someone, so I will find 3 people who you can choose from, but in order to stay within our family space, you have to deal with your issues (NOT PROBLEMS!!!)" "no" "then you have to start looking into where you plan to be when you are 18" I know I sound like a broken record, but "The Explosive Child" (Ross Greene) would help you get some sense of how to communicate with him. He's probably thinking a counselor looks and thinks like all of the tv actors in neckties and glasses! Try to find someone that he'll be able to actually communicate with both visually and emotionally. Good luck! Beth [/QUOTE]
