[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s been really hard with him since birth.  We tried everything.  Counseling, adhd meds, etc.  He is a very unhappy volatile person.  Now that he’s a teen, it’s nearly impossible to live with him.  He’s turned into this person I dislike so much.  He’s crude, caustic, barely getting by at school, smokes weed, and is always in an explosive mood.   My husband grew tired of it all long ago and pretty much checked out.  He’s gone for work and when he doesn’t work he golfs.  My other son, who has none of these issues, escapes in his own way.  I’m a SAHM left holding the bag, and trying to keep everything together as best I can.  My marriage has suffered terribly.  I’ve suffered terribly, I am depressed (medicated) and in therapy but nothing ever gets better. [/quote]

OP-I'm in the camp that favors therapeutic boarding school. I don't think it should be offered as a choice. I'm not really sure how you would force therapy or medication if your son needs to remain at home, but if you have leverage, use it.

I always post this website, but if sending him away to school isn't an option, there is some very good advice on how to deal with your DS's behavior. The link is to the teen section/articles about responding to behavior.
