[QUOTE="mama2abc, post: 521763, member: 14344"] Thank you for the warm Welcome!! I did update my signature and my photo but , it looks like I didn't save it! DOH! I will go back and do it again after I reply to some of your questions.... My DS is 11 years old and in the 5th grade. We also have twins (boy & girl) who are 8 with personalities all their own but, the reason I am here is for my oldest. 2 summers ago my husband and I hit that parenting wall where it felt like we had tried every parenting technique with our son and nothing seemed to be working. Or, we felt like we got it under control and then it would all fall apart again. Through lots of prayer and encouragement by dear friends, we took him into a clinic to have him tested. We honestly were not expecting anything but, some guidance in how to parent our firstborn. We walked away from the clinic with a diagnosis of ODD, ADHD, and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) (mostly the anxiety part)...a "cocktail of fun" we call it. :) To make a looong story short, we got him set-up with a 504 at school and read up a bunch. Unfortunately, our insurance does not cover therapy and we are not in a financial place to pay out of pocket. We are believers and are confident that our Lord has a plan for our son (and us) through all of this. We are taking each day at a time and doing our best. I have been a member of online communities in the past and I know what a treasure it can be to chat with others riding in the same boat. I can't wait to learn about your families as well. Again, thank you for the warm welcome....gotta go get the kids off the bus! (and I promise to update my siggy/picture as soon as I can) [/QUOTE]
