we have been struggling with my sons behaviour for 2 Years now. He is 6 years old and his behaviour rules our lives. I am mentally exhausted by it. I have  sought help from anywhere possible but no-one seems to have a clue what to do. Tonight I stumbled across definitions of ODD and I’m like OMG that’s it! He ticks every box!! I feel awful though because everything I read talks about it being made worse by inconsistent parenting or harsh discipline or households with lots of arguing or hostile parenting! I’m torn between being relieved I finally think I know what he “has” that makes him behave this way and wanting to throw myself under a car! Did we do this to him???!!! I feel full of guilt and am now questioning our entire life! I also feel like everyone and his dog will judge us to be terrible parents!! Plus the only other time I have heard of ODD was on a programme about some serious criminals who had carried out some messed up stuff so am feeling terrified!!! Is that the future for my beautiful little boy?! Is there hope out there? Has anyone found treatment that works? Please tell me that this can be helped??? Desperate mum
