[QUOTE="aWillowBreeze, post: 378465"] Thank you all for your directions to the Parent Emeritus section and your comments.. to reply briefly to a few points made.. YES, he's had alot of help available..not all GOOD help..after an 8yr absense his bio-dad was easily swayed by difficult child's lies at first..but has learned his own lessons & like my husband and myself he now would like to help but agree's that difficult child must be willing to follow rules and do more to help himself. The Ex-stepmother on the other hand is "help" we all would have preferred he not have and if you catch future post i'm sure you'll learn more on why. Yes! I am not only looking her for ways to help my difficult child but also for ME to cope , let go, be more in control of my emotions toward the situations as well. I was not at all suprised by his reaction to the check..dogs bark!..I like that! As far as diagnosis..in 2nd grade i was told he did not have adhd..that he was just "acting out" It wasn't until 5th grade that i was even given the "borderline adhd" diagnosis. The ODD was never even brought up by a medical professional only a couple of times by a family friend or two. [B]toughlovin[/B] - I will indeed be heading over to the Parent Emeritus section and hope to hear updates on your difficult child.. It sounds like yours has taken a step in the right direction. I have said it MANY times..i felt if difficult child could just get the diploma or a job/paycheck..some step forward..that sense of accomplishment could provide momentum for more good choices!
