I know you can't reward him when he's bad, but it sounds like he's not getting much in reward / acknowledgement which I think in turn will cause more trouble down the road. If it's possible I would have your husband take him fishing, spend some quality time with the son...it'll be rough but they need to work this out. If neither is willing to confront the issue, then counseling is the key. The son is only 14 and teen years are really rough. Let alone puberty, and school mixed in , it's all hard on a teenager (had a heck of a time with my son). Maybe your son has some inner resentment towards hubby, find out what it is. He's got to have a hear to hear wiht one of ya. As far as ADHD, maybe just ADD or ODD? Maybe nothing but teenage years that have compounded things? You both started a bit late and maybe you are a little outdated on what teens need..not being nasty at all, nobody really knows what teens need! Got to figure it out, counseling is the best thing. ↑ |
