[QUOTE="happysquid, post: 476472, member: 13004"] Hi. I'm fairly new and have only posted once before. I have a 17 year old son diagnosed 3 years ago with ADHD and ODD. He's not on any medications as he refuses to take them. He is not on drugs, he's been tested within the last month. We have been dealing with his bad behavior and non-compliance with simple requests and basic house rules for 5 years now. My husband and I have run out of patience. We've been to 5 shrinks/therapists over the last 5 years for various lengths of time. Our son refuses to work things out and talk with the therapists. Nothing is ever his fault and everything is a problem because of us, according to him. We do not know what else to do. My husband is ready to kick him out when he is 18 in a few months. Where do you get the strength to keep working at it and put up with this madness? I am only human and can only take so much abuse, especially from someone living under my roof. How much is enough and is it wrong to call it quits and let them figure things out on their own for our own sanity and well being? Any suggestions and words of wisdom are welcome. Thanks [/QUOTE]
