[QUOTE="tryinghard, post: 148413, member: 4570"] Brokendown, I understand and you are not alone. I do not have the challenges that you have described and yet I feel like I can no longer take it either. Sometimes it feels like too much to bear...I understand. I would suggest you continue to post\read this board. The members here are wonderful and there are days I want to give up but reading their posts and getting their support have gotten me through and give me some GREAT ideas on how to approach and handle things. I use to believe my difficult child (son) did things on purpose. AFTER reading post after post that sounded like my son....I realized he is not doing this on purpose. My son has a mental sickness (versus physical sickness) and I am sure would gladly stop the chaos in his life if he could. Some days he fights against it and wins...others he just can't fight through it. I use to think I was a bad mom and some how if I loved him more, or surrounded him with more positives he would do better. I read how much the parents on this board care and realized we are not bad parents. We probably try A LOT harded than the parents of a lot of easy child (perfect children) do. If I were you, I would get another opinion. Another ray of hope...my nephew was ADHD and ODD. He was 100 worse than what you have described. We really thought he would be in jail by 12. My sister in law was a single mom with NO support. My nephew is now 19 and the MOST amazing young man. He is polite, he is thoughtful, he is NOT violent, he gets straight A's in college. He works two jobs and just paid for a trip for his mom to go to Europe as a complete surprise. She told me that every day she went to bed crying. She told me everyday she told him that she would help him through was he was going through and would not let him fail. She continued to look for a doctor who would figure out what was wrong. His behavior did not really start changing until 14 BUT it did. I know how hard it is...I am searching and trying to help my 12 year old. There are days I am better than others...but I have to believe that with my help he can get better. I wish I could give you a hug...I know how bad you probably need one right now. [/QUOTE]
