I have a 12 year old son with ODD and I just want to say that after reading your stories I am crying. I can relate to you all and I am sorry for it as I do not wish this on anyone. After a meltdown yesterday I am broken. Utterly broken and trying to find the strength. He has no idea at the devastation he brings. My story is the same as yours and I read my situations in so many of your posts. Prayers to all of you. Hope and love.
Welcome and yes, living with this is something you only understand when you have a child who has it. Most think "it is typical" kids being kids, but no it is definitely NOT.
It is heartbreaking. It is frustrating. There is another site I highly recommend, empoweringparents.com Lots of articles and other resources.
