[QUOTE="nvts, post: 291462, member: 3814"] Sarah! You're no longer one person in it alone. You've come to a great place. You'll find acceptance, friendship and tons of information. First things first: Has he had a thorough neuropsychologist done? Many of us believe that ODD is a symptom rather than a diagnosis. Next: Primary here: have you told your doctor what's going on? I'm worried that you've got a full-blown depression going and you need to consider some intervention. If you're not at your best it's going to make it way harder to deal with him. Try reading a book called "The Explosive Child". It's a pretty quick read and will give you an idea as to how he thinks - then you can work at heading him off at the pass! Why did they let him out of the group home if he's still violent? A few more questions: How was his early development? Does he have issues with loud/strange noises, itchy tags, hates different foods that he's never even tried? Is he an authority on certain subjects, toys or games? Is there a history of any type of mental health, developmental disabilities, drug/alcohol abuse in the family? Sorry for getting personal, but the answers can definately help with figuring out strategies with him. Does he do a lot of this in school? Sarah, we're here for you...like I said, it's a good group and we've been through the ringer collectively! Gotta hit the grocery store - will be back in a couple of hours. Hold on and hang in there!
