[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 43218, member: 1991"] You did good today. You took time out when you needed it and you sat WITH your husband and took stock. You called for help. You did good. ODD/Depression is a starting point. At least you have someone telling you that this is NOT bad parenting. I do think there's almost certainly more, but it's somewhere to begin to get help for your child. Congrats to you and husband both, for staying off your respective weeds! It's not easy in times of stress and crisis. You've taken stock and had a talk, now you need to sit down and draw up an action plan. Right now there are maybe a lot of loose ends you don't know about, but you've made a good start with your list. Just remember - take your time, don't take on too much and follow each task through to completion before you tick it off and move to the next task. Despite feeling overwhelmed right now, you WILL get to a point where you look back over your list and think, "Wow! Did I accomplish all this?" Some of the tasks are ongoing, but each time you involve yourself and continue the necessary communication with therapist, school or doctor, you have made one more step towards the ultimate aim for every parent - your child to be happy, productive and independent.
