Hi!
I'm new here and desperatly need to find a support system. DS2 was diagnose with ODD recently. He will be 4 years old next week and I'm just exhausted from him... It's like he drained me from all my patience. I just have none anymore. He will start therapy next week but I would really like to have a full diagnosis. Not only is he defiant and very oppositional with meltdowns for what appears insinificant frustrations. I also find myself repeating the same thing over and over and over: he still forgets and acts like it's all new to him. He will also ask the same questions 100 times a day. It is driving me bunkers!!! His behiavor recently started invading preschool. Before that, he was completly withdrawn and in his own world for most of the preschool day. To top it off, my parents are in complete denial and judge my parenting like if I was creating the problem. I know I'm not (my other son is just fine and doctors assured me it was neither my husband or me, but difficult child that has a disorder and we need to help him... time won't help and things won't get better on their own). I'm so glad I found a group of people that can understand.
