[QUOTE="wasnt_me331, post: 316646, member: 8340"] Wow! Let's see if I can get all of those questions answered for ya. LOL 1. As far as the specialist that mentioned ODD in conjuction with difficult child 2, she was just a specialist that we saw for all of an hour and then I found someone else because my son didn't like her at all. I haven't taken him in to another specialist either. 2. difficult child 1's biological father has a serious temper and did a few rounds with drugs when he was younger. I haven't seen him in 15 years, so I don't know what he's up to now. difficult child 2 difficult child 3 and easy child 2 all have the same father and he is a recovering alcoholic. My mother is also bi-polar. 3. All 4 of my biological children developed right on time with everything. All 4 are very intelligent and have lots of friends. difficult child 1 has a ton of friends ... both girls and boys and gets along with everyone, but her grades definitely leave a lot to be desired. She doesn't seem to look beyond the next 5 minutes though. She is in danger of not graduating on time because she just doesn't seem to care about school at all. difficult child 2 excels in school and is on honor roll. He doesn't seem to have any outbursts at school, only at home. Plenty of friends as well. difficult child 3 is also doing very well in school and has friends, but not as many as the other kids, but she is still pretty young. 4. difficult child 1 (the 16 yr old) unfortunately HAS experimented with drinking. She swears off drugs or anything of the sort, but apparently doesn't have a problem with the drinking. She got suspended from school for the last week of school for drinking while AT school. Where could she have possibly come up with the idea that doing something like that was OK?? She tells me that her friends prefer her WITHOUT her medication. (Vyvanse) They tell her that she isn't as much fun when she takes her pill, so she decided to drink so she can feel "free". What I try to explain to her is that they aren't real friends if they are going to encourage her to do things that will interfere with school and do things that can get her in trouble. Of course, I don't know what I'm talking about though because I'm just mom.
