[QUOTE="Mamaof2, post: 200519, member: 6045"] I also forgot to add something pretty frustrating about this already.... I spoke with my son's father about the report when I got it. Right away he said "I don't believe that there is such thing as ODD." Which then told me he's not going to be on the same page as me and my son's step dad with this stuff. That bothers me. I've went through so much to get this diagnosis and figure out what's going on only to have his father already debate me on it. I have no idea if I'll be able to get him on the same page as us. He thinks therapy is a joke and really just wants our son on medications. Ugh. I want to do whatever I can for our son and if that means medications I'm open to it, However, I know he needs therapy too. Indv. and Family. To help us with communication and to help him with stressors in his life and anger management. Even my own mother said "He's just a teenager there's nothing wrong with him." She's right. He is a teenager. There is nothing WRONG! with him. He's not bad. He's a good kid who struggles and it's my responsibility to help him through those struggles the best I can within reason. I don't think it's unreasonable to want him to be in therapy. This doesn't change who he is at all. My son's step dad is on the same page as me and will be reading and working toward how to react towards son when he has behaviors. I feel like I have one person on my side. So, that's good. [/QUOTE]
