[QUOTE="Nancy, post: 386225, member: 59"] I have a 19 year old who was diagnosed with ODD at seven. Many people argued with me that she had to have something else and if we could find out what that was she would improve. We spent thousands trying to find out what that was and get her help for her behavior. Nothing worked. No one was ever able to give us any other diagnose or medication or therapy that made much of a difference. Her behavior continued to evoive and escalate as she got older. She was just released form a substance abuse treatment center. While there the attending psychiatrist diagnosed her as having borderline personality traits. Looking back I believe there was nothing we could have done any different to change her behavior. She is who she is because of her genes and the wiring in her brain. Through her alcohol treatment she is learning how to handle her impulses and behavior. I am currently reading [I]I Hate You Don't Leave Me[/I] and it describes our difficult child perfectly. Perhaps you will be lucky and something that explains her behavior, but I have found that about all we can do is manage their behavior the best we can until they get to the age where the real problem surfaces.
