[QUOTE="Kjs, post: 61664"] Certainly been there. We were told about ODD at 2.5 years old. nobody ever heard of it. We tried to ignore it, just act as if he was fine. Well, he wasn't. Our very first conference in first grade...he got all A's, but the conference lasted 45 minutes and all we were told was how awful he was. It was that conference 6 years ago that the school counselor was in on. She has become one of difficult child's closest friend. Not really friend, but to this day, (middle school going into grade 8)he will call her if he is feeling out of control. She keeps in touch. She was his guardian angel through the elementary years. Told us things we didn't / couldn't understand. Never heard of. Guess what. All of those things have happened. We should of listened so many years ago we could of gotten him help then. Maybe he would not have such a difficult time now. We were just in denial. Instead of getting him the help he needed we fought it. I have put a lot of energy into learning about ODD and other diagnosis's the past two years. Wish I would of done this 8 years ago. I too came here 8 years ago. husband made me stop. Said there was nothing wrong with difficult child. (I was difficult child's target, not husband) Welcome back. Wish I would of never left. [/QUOTE]
