I think I psoted this to the wrong forum before (watercooler)... see how new I am? I am very new to these forums.
My name is Debra and I am 35 years old, married with a one child. Our family also has 3 spoiled cats. I work in accounting. The folks I work with are very good to me and have been very supportive over the years. My husband tries to help at home but I think he just gets scared or something. I feel like I am doing all the work. I talk to him but sometimes feel like I am talking to a brick wall
I would love to hear from some parents on how they cope with their ODD kids (and possibley some spousal support ideas!)
My daughter is 6 1/2 with ADHD, ODD and anxiety. She is on 3 medications. I am on medication for depression and anxiety. If my daughter had a personalized t-shirt it would read, "It's my way or the highway!"
Any support or stories would help.
Today was pretty bad and I spent most of my day crying after my daughter destroyed me emotionally again (on the long drive to daycare). I think of when she used to be so sweet ("before") and it always makes me sad. Yes I pray and I see a psychiatric and talk to some friends, but I could use more firends if you know what I mean. Some days I feel so lost. I really don't mean to sound pathetic ... maybe I am.
Thanks in advance for any caring people out there!
Debra
