[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 448627"] From what you've shared, I would ask them what part of seriously trying to kill herself is oppositional. That just makes no sense to me. That is usually a child's way of dealing with something they can't handle. To me, it means she is hurting in a big way and has no idea how to make it get better. Like HaoZi said, to many of us ODD isn't really a diagnosis but is merely a label that means "I don't know what else it is but it's something". My son carried that diagnosis for 6 years only to be diagnosis'd recently with Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) that it was all along. It meant handling things in a totally different way. An incorrect diagnosis can do a lot of harm. I hope someone is able to get to the bottom of it soon, for her sake. Don't feel guilty for feeling some relief. Dealing with difficult child's is very emotionally and sometimes physically exhausting. Relax while you can and consider it regrouping time. Be gentle with yourself. You're human and you didn't exactly plan for life to be like this. Do what you have to for you! Welcome to the family. You have found a WONDERFUL place for support and help. There isn't much of anything that parents here haven't dealt with so there is tons of "expertise" here. {{{{(((HUGS)))}}}} to you both. [/QUOTE]
