So, my son, whom I strongly believe as well as the therapist he had seen every week for a couple of months at the beginning of this year believes, needs a psychiatric evaluation because of observations during the sessions.

He is 18 years old and has always had social issues (being picked on at school because he was always a little smaller than other boys his age) and has and still is very obnoxious to be around. He's very disruptive to the family and he's never really had any friends and I certainly can't remember him bringing any home since he was about 7 or 8 years old. His behavior has gotten more obnoxious and has even become sort of a "hater" meaning that he basically "hates" anything the average person would like. His temperament has become more concerning because he talks about punching people when they do something he doesn't like. In addition, he has a problem telling the truth and taking any responsibility for his life (he constantly makes up lies and everything is someone else's fault.

Because I am concerned, I told him back in February that he needed to get an evaluation by a psychiatrist and depending on what the results are, continue at least 4 counseling sessions before I pay for his college tuition/fees etc. Him being 18, I feel this is the only control that I have. Needless to say, until two weeks ago, he has refused and said that there is nothing wrong with him, but that it's me that has the problem (the therapist earlier this year interviewed us both over many sessions, yet saw something concerning in him). He, at such a late date, has very reluctantly decided to get the evaluation, all the while complaining that nothing is wrong and that this is a waste of money etc...

Here I am, standing firm on what I told him his requirements were to get his college paid for about 4 months ago, now I am being unreasonable about what can get done in the next few weeks before school. Unfortunately I've heard so many excuses from him.

Is there something wrong with following through with what I promised?
