[quote=Anonymous]I am at loss as to what to do with our DS.
He is a Freshman who failed a class last semester and is failing or has Ds in most of his classes. He has been grounded for failing the class but he sneaks out of the house and refuses to accept the grounding. Two weeks ago he came home so drunk he couldn't walk on his own.
We have taken away his phone when we found him sneaking out. Doesn't do his homework or study even when offer to help.
He won't listen to anything we say. If we try to stop him from going out he threatens violence. He has been violent in the past and damaged things around the house when he doesn't get his way.
The police have been here 3 times and once he was taken out in handcuffs to the hospital for evaluation.
We have done therapy but it has not helped. We hired a tutor to help with school which he refuses.
He was tested and diagnosed with ADHD and has medication (Vyvanse).
Says he hates us and we are terrible parents. We have an older child and do not have any of these issues.[/quote]
