[QUOTE="AllStressedOut, post: 53166, member: 3837"] I think I'm seeing my problem, I'm trusting the doctors to know more than I could find out. I need to do more research. I'm on page 84 of the book and I see some things in my kids, but they don't seem as severe. Although, if I did direct comparisons to how they were when my husband and I first married, then yes, its them to a T. I did the research and thought our youngest difficult child was ODD and the psychiatrist agreed. I researched his problems, because as stated in my signature, he is my most difficult difficult child. psychiatrist thinks that there really isn't any medications for ODD and you can only treat symptoms. My middle difficult child has never had serious problems besides academics, until he started staterra, then academics weren't the problem, attitude/personality was. My oldest difficult child has improved greatly, but is still having outbursts in class. He improved while just on straterra though, so maybe he should just take that? He was angry long before straterra, but now arguing/disrespect seems to be his major issue. All other issues I could handle. One thing in him that bothers me is his outlook on life when things don't go his way. His response is "My life sucks, I want to die, life is unfair, etc." But when things are going fine, he thinks life is wonderful. I appreciate all of ya'lls input and advice. It really helps me understand I need to take more of this on myself and not depend so much on the psychiatrist opinion in 10 minutes with each kid each month. When you put that in writing it seems stupid to think 10 minutes a month is enough to fix it all. [/QUOTE]
