[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 675634, member: 11791"] Hi, and welcome. I don't disagree with the other posters. But I sometimes take a different track. You say he isn't like you and your wife and your other sons. So... who IS he like? An uncle, a grandparent, a cousin? Sometimes, that person will have a better chance at reaching out, because they understand. Pressure isn't going to solve this, because pressure is likely one of the factors that caused it. (been there done that with one of mine.) There really needs to be an alternative to "therapy or nothing", because therapy doesn't always work and it can be majorly difficult to find a good fit for some of our kids. (been there done that too.) He doesn't need to be "fixed". He needs to figure out who he is and where he is going and what he wants out of life and how to get there. [/QUOTE]
