[QUOTE="2ODD, post: 417820, member: 11582"] My son was diagnosed with ODD and early onset bipolar. The doctor has started him on Tenex. We just increased his dosage yesterday but I don't believe that medications are the only answer. We have had therapists in the house but my husband wouldn't try the skills because he doesn't believe in the diagnosis or mental disease. I have no problems, for the most part, in dealing with my son and there are no problems at school. I use positive parenting, scheduling and consistent rules with him. My son knows that I say what I mean and rarely challenges it. Due to the fact that the problems only arise with his father, my husband has concluded that my son is just a bad kid and it's all my fault. His parents have started bad mouthing my son behind his back and in front of his siblings which I have serious problems with. Of course, they support my husband in his way of thinking and encourage him to follow through. I have quit my jobs so that I can stay at home and referee but mostly because I am afraid to leave my husband alone at home with my kids. [/QUOTE]
