[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 124967, member: 1550"] My guess (sad as it is) is that a lot more is going on than ODD/ADHD--possibly a mood disorder or bipolar, in which case stimulants would make her even worse. She could also be involved in drug use at her age. Everything you may have been able to do to help her at a younger age becomes moot by her age and she has to get the help herself. And if she is so sick she doesn't think she needs help, and refuses to see it, it's out of your hands. I agree she would have done well with a neuropsychologist evaluation. I still think it would be great, if she'd go. I would take a leap and say all difficult child's say "I hate you." I think they really mean "I hate me." I guess at this point, the only thing you can do is find somewhere else for her to stay until she is eighteen and hope she decides to get mental health services (neuropsychologist or Psychiatrist with an MD) so that she can be re-evaluated and maybe put on medications that help her because these obviously aren't. My layman's guess is they are probably making her worse. If she is also using recreational drugs or drinking, then she's not going to be able to control herself. I'm really sorry. I had a difficult teenager too. [/QUOTE]
