adhd

My son has been difficult - aggressive, negative, purposefully bothering, since I can remember. He is a twin and his twin sister has some medical issues. I had postpartum depression pretty bad after they were born and I often feel horribly guilty about what I may have missed giving the kids in...

I don't even know where to start. difficult child is 15, and my biological daughter. I left my verbally abusive husband in 1995, and they've only seen each other once since.

This question came up in my college class some months back. I did ask my teacher about conduct disorders and this generation, vs. the 70's and before. 1) Why did we not seem to have this trend as kids? I remember being parented in do or die fashion. and school was not the school of today as in...

We all know as a mom of a child with adhd, depression, anxiety, and conduct disorder we often feel like we are going nuts! We wonder if we are making the right decisions on the care and education of our child. We sit and wonder where we went wrong. We cry because we feel like a failure and...

Hi everyone :) I'm Judy. I'm so happy I found this place as I've been looking for a support for a while now :) Our ds4 is quite a little puzzle. He was born into our hearts when he was 8 days old. He was prenatally exposed to drugs and alcohol and his birth mother had a history of mental...

Mine and my wife's journey is much like yours. We adopted three children (siblings) out of the state foster care system. That was over five years ago. While the younger to children (now 10 and 12) have assimilated quite well, my oldest son (15 today) has progessively gotten worse. Diagnosed with...

From what I've read up on, I think he is ODD. He has a lot of aggression and argues with us about every little...

I feel very badly even typing this but find myself really disliking my son. I almost hate him sometimes. I fantasize about being a single almost 40 year old child-less person! How much different my life would be if I never had kids. The guilts get me though when I think like this because I KNOW...

Hi all, I’m new to this forum. New and desperate. My SO has a 10 ¾ y.o. son who is out of control and intolerable to be around. I am so ashamed to say that I really think I hate this kid. His dad even says that. I don’t know all the acronyms and don’t want to use his name, so I’ll call the...
