*pulling at straws*
my son is almost 10 years old, diagnosed with ADHD last year (after knowing for years). I believe he may have ODD too.
We are pretty nervous around here. He has been stabbing stuff when he gets mad about having to do things like brush his teeth or take a shower. He stabbed the toothpaste tube about 20 times and then denied it for a minute. He admitted it (never usually fesses up) and said it was because he was angry. Last night he stabbed the shower curtain putting holes in it.. and denied it.
So hubby is really concerned about the pther kids in the house. We have a toddler and a baby on the way. He is worried about him acting out on them. My son LOVES his siblings and has improved since his sister was born. She is the only one that can get him to smile.
My son has supervised visitation with his dad on wednesday evenings and every other weekend. That house is not a great environment for him. They are very negative and argue all the time. They let my son do whatever he wants with no structure. We can't even send him in good clothes there or his clothes will be given to cousins and he comes back in some kind of salvation army clothes.
This is the best we could do through the courts though... it has been a battle.
I have had lots of help and support through www.dailystrength.org
I just got the book 123 magic and am starting to read it.
Not sure if i have a question. We are at wit's end and can't see the light yet.
