[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 97140, member: 1233"] Oh, hon, PLEASE don't let the cynical people make you feel ashamed. You are a [img]:warrior:[/img] warrior mom! You fought for your kids no matter the problems. You did what you could, with what you had, and your child somehow could not or would not accept parenting. This is NOT YOUR FAULT. I do believe that you need a new, complete and thorough evaluation. It should include a developmental pediatrician or neuropsychologist, a psychiatrist, a CHILD NEUROLOGIST, and lots of testing. The child neurologist is because the sobbing and then falling asleep makes me wonder about seizure issues. A sleep deprived EEG will rule these in or out. An EEG that is not sleep deprived will MISS the things that matter. They thought my daughter had ADHD and was refusing to do work. She has EPILEPSY, a type that has unnoticeable seizures but as many as 70 or more an hour. They last a few seconds to a minute. I think there may be more there, but so far we have not found it. The developmental pediatrician will do testing, as would a neuropsychologist. Both of these docs do intense testing, and very thorough testing. A psychiatrist should also weigh in, though in my opinion they do not do very in-depth evaluations. I have rarely seen ODD stand alone. It is more a pattern of behavior thataccompanies many problems. I was told this by the docs we saw that I had good reason to trust. Good luck, and hold that head up HIGH!!! You are a WONDERFUL mom, a bad mom would have ignored the problems and never tried to help her kids!!! Sometimes even the most normal, recommended parenting just is not what works.
