My 4 yr old son was just dx'd w/ ODD & ADHD today. We have had behavior problems with him since he was in his terrible two's, but it just got worse w/ age. He doesn't listen or obey us, or even look at us when we ask him to do something. He wants to do it on his time not ours. There has been a big strain on our marriage due to blaming each other for not paying enough attention to him, or on matters of discipline. He has been a real hand full & is our only child. I whole heartedly love Clay, but I despise his behavior. His pddoc gave him iminiperine, and I hear there is no cure, or worse yet whose to know whether he will grow out of it. This is a mothers worst nightmare. I just want my son to grow up to be happy & healthy, not angry & frustrated & defiant. Is there any others out there that have an ODD child? & how do you cope? Thanx Denise
