[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 387946, member: 3388"] I'm back, still don't have too much time and totally lost my train of thought... Anyway, you said one thing that makes so much sense to me. I don't think therapy sessions can help some of our difficult children until an accurate diag is made and they're on the right combo of medications. This was especially true in difficult child 1's case. As it turned out, difficult child 1 is a very high functioning Aspie and also is bipolar. I'm not suggesting that your difficult child has the same diags but so many different disorders present with ODD. There was no way any psychiatrist/therapist, etc., was going to be able to get through to him until he was able to truly listen to what was being said. I'm still on the fence about whether I think any of his counseling sessions actually helped him or if it was just finding the right combo of medications. Vent away as much as you need to. Someone is always here to "listen." I would have lost whatever little is left of my sanity if I hadn't found this place, others who have walked in my shoes and totally "get" where I'm coming from. As I said earlier, I hope today is a much better day for you!!! Hugs... SFR [/QUOTE]
