[QUOTE="Keeping it Real, post: 480771, member: 13227"] Hi Yvette, (this is my first post & new as of today) our son will be 15 in a few mths. He has always been demanding, sensitive and defiant with out burst. However w hormones it became so much worse wo any break. His frustration was pointed at me also. It took me several mths to find the right person for our son. We started counseling sessions in august and it has helped so much! For the longest time he has said we didn't understand and he was right. And now we are starting to understand. Things are far from perfect but I am learning that we have to deal w each tangle separately and it takes time. My son was so angry and full of resentment and sure that we didn't love him. Now he know I love him and we are working together. The hardest part is not to be pulled in to his need to argue and to act like I am not being worn down. And he does pick the times I am at my most vulnerable. However through therapy, I am understanding how he works and what feeds his ODD. This has been so helpful. Because for 6 mths prior to his sessions, he wouldn't hug me or say he loved me. Now I get hugs and I love you's once again. I hope this gives you something to look forward too...he is still as difficult as hell, but I don't feel so powerless and I feel like I have support to help us all. :consoling: [/QUOTE]
