[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 369944, member: 6705"] IFB - welcome to our home! First things first, I'd like to send you LOTS of hugs. All of us have, at one time or another, felt like we are the [I]only one[/I] in this situation. And ya know - all of our situations differ, but we all have something in common. Our "Gifts from God"... aka problem children. From what I have managed to pick up in the last 18 months, ODD seems to be a catchall/cop-out diagnosis. It's what a lot of kids get labeled with when the psychiatrists just don't know what is going on. (in my opinion, every teen is oppositional and defiant, just ours seem to be more so). That said, there may - or may not - be more to it. What's his history with psychiatrists like? Intermittent, or fairly steady? As for hitting his sister - how bad was it, and is this something that has happened a lot in the past? OK, I'll be the first to admit, I'm no expert. I'm still learning, myself. And lots of the other people here know a LOT more than I do. So I'll stop now - and let the ones with more knowledge ask/answer. In the meantime, as I mentioned before - WELCOME! [/QUOTE]
