The hope I hung onto while my son was in treatment, has vanished....

[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 667079, member: 18516"] [USER=19526]@P126 Mum[/USER] , My son went through quite a bit of counseling but he always rejected it. Out of all the counselors we worked with not one of them was able to help my son. I think that's just part of the ODD. My son has zero respect for anyone that has any kind of authority. My son truly believes that he is smarter than all of them. I learned over time the more I tried to "control" my son by telling what he should be doing and how he should be living the more defiant he became with me. I finally had to come to the realization that my son was determined to live his life on his terms. Slowly I accepted it. I will never like it but in order for me to move on with my life I had to accept it. To be quite honest when they gave us the diagnosis of ODD I had to laugh. I already knew that my son was defiant and oppositional all the psychologist did was add the word disorder. My son is just like his bio-father. In my sons case I truly believe it has more to do with nature than nurture. Bio-father dropped out of our lives when my son was 4 yet he turned out just like bio-father. Oh how I wish I had a magic answer for you. I know the heartbreak and despair you feel. I'm really sorry I don't have more to offer you. [/QUOTE]
