[QUOTE="TeDo, post: 455958"] Welcome to our little corner of the world. Very sorry you were driven to the point of having to find us. First of all, you are welcome to tell us most anything. With the experiences of everyone on this board put together, we have been there done that a million times over. There is nothing we haven't heard before. Second, give yourself a huge pat on the back for taking the initiative to take care of you. Counseling is a great idea. Not only can you spill your guts there (and here too), you can get help processing them. Good for you. Third, I can sympathize with the two different kinds of parenting. Both my sons are on the autism spectrum but they are still so different that what works for one does NOT work for the other. Is there any chance your bipolar/ODD child isn't also on the spectrum somewhere? There is such a variation in symptoms on the spectrum that if I wasn't living it, I would have a hard time believing both of mine have the same basic diagnosis but display things soooooo differently. Now, when you are ready, fill us in on more specifics of what you are dealing with. Share what you want when you want. We are here to listen, offer support, and offer our experiences. Take what you want/need and leave the rest. {{{{(((HUGHS)))}}}} to you. [/QUOTE]
