I am new to this posting thing, but I don't really know what else to do. My difficult child 2 went to a therapist a while ago and she mentioned O.D.D. and when I read the symptoms or characteristics, I wanted to cry. Out of the 8 listed, my son fit 6 of them ... perfectly. There were 2 reasons I wanted to cry ... one was because it meant that I wasn't losing my mind and two because it meant I didn't have an out of control child that nobody could help. He is the most loving little boy ever, but has NO clue how to keep his anger in check.
difficult child 1 was diagnosed with ADHD when she was about 5 yrs old and I can tell you now ... we knew something was up WAY before that. She's so pretty and so intelligent, but common sense isn't something that she's very good at. She makes such bad decisions and just isn't maturing like she should be at this point.
difficult child 3 is the baby of the family and very volatile at times. I don't know what to do with her sometimes. She is constantly arguing or fighting with the other kids and it is progressively getting worse. The older ones are always going after her for something ... provoked or not.
My other two easy child are my "angel" and my step-son. Both are really great kids and I am literally praying that they keep that up because the other 3 are making me a little crazy.
I am really hoping that I am able to find some new friends on here that may be able to offer a little insight or guidance.
