[QUOTE="bran155, post: 179684"] Hello and welcome. You will love being a part of this wonderful on-line community. I have learned a great deal here and you will too. I am so sorry things are so rough for you and your family right now. We all can relate to what you are going through as well as what you are feeling. I have been dealing with this for 17 years and still have trouble not blaming myself. Our natural instinct as well as what most of the world tells us, when something goes wrong with our children, especially when it surfaces as behavior problems, it is due to bad parenting. SO NOT TRUE!!! I too still ask why?? The truth is, we will never know why. In the beginning I was like your husband, I always used to say "well she'll grow out of it". Seventeen and a half years later and I am still waiting for that!! lol I am in agreement with your doctor ODD rarely stands alone. My daughter, way back when, was diagnosis with ODD as well as ADHD. And like yours she rarely acted out unless she was home or with people she was very comfortable with. She started displaying her "home behaviors" at school when she hit junior high. She couldn't sit still in elementary school, she needed services however the rages and destructive behavior didn't surface in school until the 6th grade. I know you are scared and feeling overwhelmed. You are not alone. The saying is true, "Misery really does love company". After I discovered this website and connected with these wonderful people I didn't feel so isolated anymore. People here really do understand how hard this is as they live it daily too. That really helps, believe me. I have gained so much knowledge and strength from all of the wise warrior moms (and some dads too) on this board. Hang in there and God bless. :) [/QUOTE]
