[QUOTE="SearchingForRainbows, post: 168531, member: 3388"] I'm so very sorry about your "fur baby", Francis. Losing a beloved furry family member is never easy. One thing that has helped me and my children when one of our "fur babies" becomes an "angel", is to make a collage of pictures of him/her. Once it is finished, I frame it and hang it in a prominent place in our house. At first, looking at the picture brings many tears. In time, the tears turn to smiles and happy memories... And, I agree with you - kids are resilient. Unfortunately, death is a part of life. As sad as it is, I think children need to understand this. Give it some time - I really believe your children will look back and smile when they think of all the love and good times they shared with Francis. Sending lots of hugs... As far as ODD is concerned, I agree with Sara. I don't think ODD is usually a separate disorder. difficult child 1 was first diagnosed with ODD (We thought he had ADHD too but that was ruled out.) Later, we found that the ODD was a symptom of the fact he is an Aspie with bipolar disorder. Once we found the correct diags, began treatment and medication, the ODD symptoms improved. However, in difficult child 1's case, he has never gotten rid of the ODD altogether. At least now, years later, his ODD symptoms are much improved. I'm glad focalin and behavior management are helping your difficult child. I haven't been around much, and don't know much about your difficult child, but from this post, it sounds like you're headed in the right direction. I hope you continue to see improvements in your difficult child's behavior. WFEN [/QUOTE]
