Thanks and hugs to all for your support | ADHD Information

I am so glad that things are going better now. 

It is also good that your husband is now more onboard.  Working as a team will be much easier on all involved, I don't know what I would do if my husband was not totally on my side and my partner in Chase's treatment and discipline strategies.

I am glad to be able to help another person as this board has helped me....I want to pass it along....

I just want to thank all of you who responded to my last thread about my confusion.

You helped me sooo much.  You all made sense and I feel so much better.  I don't feel depressed anymore - blue and concerned but I think I'm grounded again.

I read your responses to my husband and he is now convinced we need a new therapist. 

We also agree that having my son take a personality test is not necessary.  The testing facility will evaluate the data and decided what tests are needed.

We are going to sit down and find a discipline plan and follow it.  My son's a teen so charts and stickers don't work anymore.

I can see now that all this "breaking the denial" is causing my son harm.  He knows something is not right but he just isn't there yet, emotionally. 

His ODD is the hardest and last night he had a tantrum just like my 5 year old niece has. He said some nasty and mean things to me which I  ignored.  I called my husband in for help.  My husband lost his temper but they made up. 

My son and I have a love hate relationship right now.  I am doing all I can for him and as I have said in previous posts, I can only do so much.

Tonight is my husbands b-day, and hopefully, we can get through the dinner without a meltdown.  I plan on one glass of wine but maybe tonight, it will be two.

Thanks again everybody.  I don't think anyone other than people going through this can really understand how we get through the days.
