Re: Our Story (so far) 14 yr son suddenly defiant illogical abusive truant angry hurt

Thanks @Jammy for your encourgement and advice. It's a shame our local (and I mean the whole state atm!) health services are lacking psychiatrists. Funding cut from our capital for training position, crises with one in the next largest city, and none here at all. So likelyhood of finding a child psychiatrist is slim to none. Will try to get him into a private one about and hour and half away, but waiting list is 6 months. It is quite funny( not) all the spending that is put into advertising to encourage people to get help for mental health...but no available services. 😕
