[QUOTE="tryingtobreathe, post: 711718, member: 21777"] We (my husband and I) have had issues with our son for the last 6 years. Every time he would lie, steal, fail a class, etc, we would think "what could we do differently?". This past year we finally figured out that there is something drastically wrong and it isn't our parenting style. We waited 6 months for him to get into a neuro psychologist. He was diagnosed with conduct disorder. He refuses to take medications (and in our state they will not prescribe at the age of 15 years old without his consent - ugh). We have met with counselors, the pastor, the school, etc, etc. etc. Now he is using drugs and drinking. Today, he skipped a couple of classes. I am trying to approach this one day at a time, but I am tired. We have called the police twice - once for destruction of property and when we found out about the drug use. Basically, we are starting a paper trail. I feel guilty wanting him out of my house so the rest of us can get some peace and quiet. I still feel as if I am to blame for his behavior. I am meeting with a counselor to help me thru my feelings. I need a break [/QUOTE]
