conduct disorder in children

Hi, Early-Childhood folks: I posted the following on the General Forum but I am also very interested in hearing from others who have pre-schoolers like my son especially, those on Risperdal and/or have epilepsy. THANKS Cheryl Hello: I am new to the group and just wanted to indroduce myself...

I've been lurking for a few days and after the last week, I feel compelled to introduce myself and hope for some guidance. I don't have all the abbreviations down yet, and I see others have posted info in signatures, which I can do soon. Our family is a blended family; my husband has two boys...

I just found this board and really need some advice. If you can bear with me through some of the murky backround details, ( I will try to be brief) I would be forever grateful for any input and help anyone can offfer! I married my husband a litle over 3 years ago. He had 3 kids from his first...

My daughter is 15 and we've been dealing with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD), ODD, and ADHD for years. Recently she's been demonstrating some conduct disorders behaviors. I'm really feeling hopeless and at my wits ends. My daughters therapist suggested I find a support forum to reach out to. I hopin' finding some...

Trying to make a long story short, my stepson is 14, almost 15, and no longer lives with us. He made multiple accusations of abuse against us when he was 10-12, was finally removed from our home, and when they realized that we weren't abusive, difficult child refused to return back home (the social worker...

Hello all - just want to say hi. I just found this site yesterday and having trouble turning comp off!! This site is amazing. Ive been reading all the post waiting patiently to be registered. What a warm bunch of survivors, I was so touched by the level of support given here. Some of the...

I just got a letter from difficult child's school today. They are moving her sped class AGAIN. Letter says the school she is at will be at "capacity" with the regular ed students. So, when all else fails dump the sped students somewhere else. difficult child has had her class moved every year since Kindergarten she...

I just came across this site tonight, and am glad I found it, but not glad I need it! I am a single mom of 2 kiddos. My daughter is 8. She is autistic, has allergies and mild obstructive sleep apnea. I also have a little boy who is 5. His diagnoses starting around 2 years old, and he just...

I am trying to learn how to navigate this site and found a group pertaining to adoption but could not figure out how to post. We adopted my nephew who is now 5...it has been 2 1/2 years and while there has been 85% improvement with him it is still hard to even be in the same room with him. We...

Hi I live in the UK and at first that put me off joining, however after some thought I realised you lot over the water are so much more open about the problems we face than in the UK - if you say your kids have ADHD over here its like saying you have the clap :/ My story - I have 7 children -...

Don't know about anyone else, but dealing with a child with conduct disorder is the most frustrating, disappointing, annoying, horrifying, exhausting, obnoxious thing on this planet. My son has been oppositional defiant for two years. Any little change in routine and it's 20 minutes of being...

We have been snowed in for going on 5 days now. We had meltdowns and came back from it, but today.. I am feeling a little overwhelmed. Trying to be a good mom/stepmom and be consistent and teach good values, but I always feel like the bad guy! Jaime is an exceptionally sweet 9 little girl 95% of...

So to make a really long story short.....at the age of 3 my son was diagnosed with ADHD. They tried to get me to medicate him then, but I just assumed little boys should run around and play, climb on things, take things apart, etc..... I refused medication at the time. We had gone to see a...

Hi all, I have been a lurker for a little while, but now it is time to come out of the shadows, I guess, as we could really use some help. I am putting background in black, and questions in red, so skimmers can get right to the point. I think this will be a long post. He is 13 years old, 7th...

I'm new to this group as of today...I was searching around for someplace to vent. I think I need help. My daughters are 10 yrs and 2yrs and I have gotten to a point where I dread coming home from work because I don't want to be around them. My older one especially. She has been in and out of...

Can anyone define what this means to me? It sounds self defining, but I want to be clear.

Last week I posted, through tears, that my brother didn't want me to bring my three kids to his daughter's confirmation for the weekend. My nieces and nephew are innocent, unspoiled, clean kids who really don't do anything bad. Mine are foulmouthed juvenile delinquents. My bro was concerned...
