[QUOTE="Calamity Jane, post: 610378, member: 13882"] I went through something similar when my son was 16 also. I sought help from the school, and they were very cooperative. They arranged for twice weekly sessions with the school psychologist for him (which he resented most of the time), but they also gave me the phone number of a very good psychiatrist who specialized in adolescents, drug use and adoption. He was a Godsend. Our lives were insane at that time, and while it wasn't a magic bullet, the psychiatric. visits kept us all from completely unraveling. I know how hard it is when they refuse to go to school and are defiant. It's so difficult to not reduce yourself to that level of ugliness when you're tired, out of ideas, etc. [/QUOTE]
