[QUOTE="GlassPaws55, post: 579676, member: 15945"] I feel as though my sanity is hanging by a thread. My son is 24 with brain damage from a stroke. He has a variety of mental health issues. His first word was no and it really never got any better. He was diagnosed at 5 with Oppositional Defiant Disorder. Now he has a full blown conduct disorder. I guess Antisocial Personality Disorder fits best with a sub diagnosis of narcissism. I spent 6 hours today with him filling out Social Security disability paperwork. I came home so mentally whipped from the combative and argumentative behavior, I wonder why I help at all. Parents of healthy children get to sent them on their way eventually. For mothers of the disabled and mentally challenged, parenthood seems like a life sentence with no parole. I am depressed, anxious and wondering if I will ever wake up from the nightmare of being his parent. I know it sounds awful but he is so miserable to deal with on a daily basis, I am totally demoralized. [/QUOTE]
