[QUOTE="Sumsky, post: 739231, member: 22893"] Copa, So then it makes sense that there may be more than one thing going on. He has ADHD. That was diagnosed years ago and it was just reaffirmed through the last evaluation. I have read about comorbidity and ADHD seems to be something that goes along with many other things. When ADHD was first diagnosed when he was about 6-7, I started reading all I could about it. Trying to find ways to help him. By the time he was 10, I was convinced he also had ODD. I understand that ASPD can’t be diagnosed before he is 18 because of his continuing development. I also understand that the earlier he gets treatment the better he (and everyone) can be (if he wants to). I want him to have the best opportunity, BUT that being said..... my daughter is my first priority. It’s not just her safety that is taking precedence for me now. It is her overall safety, security, health AND happiness. I will do what I can and continue to be involved in therapy, however, I have taken a backseat with anything else. I don’t care if he fails school, I don’t care if he needs a dentist appointment, I don’t care if he needs school clothes, I don’t care if he is driving his grandparents crazy, I just don’t care.... I know that sounds terrible, but I just want to be done with him.... my home has been so much more peaceful, relaxed and clean(he’s a slob and never cleans up after himself) since he is not here!!!! I do not even realize how stressful it was to be around him until he was gone!!! I do want to help him anyway I can, just not at the expense of my children or myself. [/QUOTE]
