[QUOTE="MsMichelle, post: 52816, member: 3835"] Brand new here. I "Googled" ODD yesterday and found this site after meeting my son's teacher outside while picking up my son. "We had a VERY VERY bad day today", she said. My son has always been a pretty hard child to raise, emotional, unpredictable, inflexible, etc but his problems has exploded since January. I'm overwhelmed. He was hospitalized in Jan and Feb for a total of 24 days. I was fired from my job and started a custody battle with my ex. It's all just too much. I put one foot in front of the other and just try to persevere. Having a child with mental illness is all new to me. I am so tired of people talking to me as if, I chose this for my son OR am somehow causing him to be out of control (I have a typically developing daughter without mental health problems, so I am pretty sure it's not my parenting!). Even the principal of my son's school said "This is a child who just expects to get everything he wants!! Do you [i] [/i] allow [i] [/i] this type of behavior at home?" After he bit and kicked his teacher and tore up the Principals office when he was sent there. He is 6, in 1st grade. I was told they were just about to call the police if I hadn't arrived when I did. (I was called to come pick him up as he was expelled). I got there within 5 minutes and could hear him yelling 20 feet outside the office. Big rant/vent I guess. So happy to have found others like me, like US. Michelle [/QUOTE]
