Hello,
After searching for some type of article or information on how to deal with my 11 yr old who has conduct disorder and adhd I found this page. I have always known my child was a blessing but with some issues. Yes he was more active and yes we had to repeat ourselves more often than other parents and yes school was always a bit more of a challenge but I still never felt this tired. In the past year and half our child was diagnosed with conduct disorder and it has been a trying time. Last night, we had another blow up with our child telling us how much they hate us and how terrible we are and how they wished they had other parents who treated them better, now mind you this child was screaming this as they were sitting in a game room set aside so they can play their new xbox while wearing their favorite brand clothes with their dinner served and after they just finished playing an alotted time of xbox, all this came about when they were instructed they need to complete their homework of writing one paragraph which could consist of 6 sentences. They screamed and screamed how much they hated us and wished we were dead and how terrible we were and how we just give up on them all the time but yet never understanding how much they are given and how much is spent with them just alone despite the two other children we have. We have them in counseling, medication and just starting MST and respite care for a couple hours a week. It still doesn't get better. Oh did I mention my husband is getting ready to deploy for a year, oh joy right! Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make the days better for all of us? How to handle the issue with the hateful words our childs says? How not to get so angry as well when our child wont stop with the hateful words? I am tired and want a better home for all of us.
