[QUOTE="C.J., post: 260291, member: 1987"] My difficult child - I would have to drag her into school, I would have to drag her out of school, drag her into church, drag her out of church, drag her into the bathtub, drag her out of the bathtub, etc. I could say, "My goodness, the sky is such a pretty shade of blue today." difficult child would say, "There are clouds in the sky too. They aren't blue." I reminded my child all too often that I was the parent, not her. 2Daughters: I agree with the others - ODD does not stand alone - the sooner you can find out what you're truly dealing with, the sooner you can provide the assistance your daughter will need to navigate her place in the world. That may be behavioral therapy, medication, coping skills, learning to recognize what sets off a melt down... When you have a few minutes, create a signature like the ones we've done at the bottom of our posts (I think instructions for this is on the home page - FAQ section - somewhere). This helps the rest of us with suggestions or resources we can send your way. You are not alone. Just the other day, my mother and I were "discussing" my 18 year old difficult child who does not return home at a decent hour when she's out with friends. When she let loose her now infamous line, "Well if she were living in my house, I would...." I told my mother she could come pick her up that night. First, she'd have to convince difficult child to leave. Curfews for this 18 year old are not in my Basket A (Explosive Child reference) because I cannot enforce them. I don't run a 24/7 lock down facility. I hope you stop back by and get to know us a little better. Welcome. [/QUOTE]
