[QUOTE="HaoZi, post: 576558, member: 15793"] You need a LOT more help than you're getting, hon. There's a lot more than ODD going on here and I'm sure you already know that. We generally look at ODD as a place-holder diagnosis, something they throw out when they don't really know what else is going on to explain it, but it doesn't really get you any help. Find out the real underlying diagnosis, get help for that (or those), and the ODD behavior generally goes down. Obviously the divorce and anxiety there is making things worse and I'm sure you know that, too. She needs a full evaluation to find out exactly what is wrong and get all the help possible, and don't be afraid to call the police when she gets violent - be sure to let dispatch know they're coming into a situation involving a [I][B]mentally ill child[/B][/I] - many departments have specially trained officers for this. Call your local CPS and ask for additional help with her, too - they have resources they can access as well. Does she have an IEP? Is she acting out at school? Or only at home? Hang in there hon!
