I write this when I should be sleeping, but I am too upset to sleep. This is my 1st time posting and I'm not sure what to do. I am a mom to two boys age 3 and 7. My 7 year old has been a challenge since birth (colic baby) and is currently seeing a psychologist. She believes he may be ADHD/ODD. A psychiatrist we met with said he was a candidate for drugs. We don't know what to do. Our psychologist is suggesting neuropsychologist testing but it will cost almost 3K for the battery of tests. Our 3 year old was a very happy and easy going baby. When he turned 2 things started to change. We started to see more and more behavior that was a carbon copy of his brother's and all negative behavior. Now at 3 he is very intense and angry and I fear his continued exposure to his older brother will set us up for even worse challenges. I feel so alone and wanted to reach out to a community that understands where I am coming from. I hope to find some advice and suport here. Thanks.
