[QUOTE="tinkermel2u, post: 237456, member: 6718"] Hi there.. Im new here, and just need the support of others in the same situation etc. I love my 5 year old daughter so much but just dont know what to do anymore. It started as the terrible 2's then 3's and well you get the idea. At 3, she started to put on weight.. and fast.. Ive had her tested for that - but nothing really comes back.. she is definately overweight for her age.. her attitude is what is the worst. she has every symptom for ODD. I had her seeing a counsellor, until we exhausted what insurance would pay. The therapist said, yes she definately has everything for ODD - but is too young to diagnose completely???? she also said that if we dont do something now, that it will get worse. but what can we do???? I cant enroll her in a real school so we homeschool. I do meet with an educational facilitator once a month to go over her school work and see how she is doing. She has reccommended a therapist through school and we will have her checked that way as well. She said the more we get documented the more we can get help. Every day is a daily struggle. My husband doesnt want to even have anything to do with her anymore because of her behavior. Everything is a fight. from getting dressed to anything. I cant even say good morning to her without her whining and fighting me. :whiteflag: I am so frustrated.. and so out of fight that it is making me depressed... She also still sleeps with us.. she refuses to sleep in her own room - her own bed..etc. she wont have anything to do with her father.. she beats him up, and calls him names.. she gets frustrated at the drop of a hat for nothing.. I am contstantly on eggshells trying to keep peace.. but it doesnt work... Is there a medication that helps??? I am going to the docs on Feb 17th for my younger daughters check up and was going to ask for something that might help.. but wasnt sure what was offered for ODD. I need it to help save my family.. and for my own sanity.. [/QUOTE]
