I know this is a stressful situation for you but there's a few things that were concerning. Something happened 9 months ago. HE could be mad/ hurt over something that happened. But at 9 it seems to be a scream for help. Adhd is way over diagnosed. I have been where you are, I had 4 boys, my husband wasn't very supportive for the most part. My son has ADD and so do I. I tried medicine but there's some issue problems with add meds. The other side of having ADD just takes work. You must give them a strict environment, they really need organization and discipline. I would also have the med level checked. Start with the weakest possible. Its not a miracle pill though, they don't stop talking back, being hyper just from the pill. You have to step up and keep his life 1) structured and 2) FULL, busy.. sports or music, whatever he loves to do, get him busy. I love positive reinforcement.
