hi there, my name is korky and I am a 37yr old mom of 4 kids, I live in England U.K. My youngest 2 kids both have problems, their father had conduct disorder as a child and was later diagnosed as anti-social personality disorder when he was put in jail for being an abusive father, that was 10yrs ago. My daughter is 14 and was diagnosed as having ODD when she was just 2yrs old. my son is 12 and has ADHD, Aspergers and Epilepsy.
I have pretty much coped with a lot over the years, my older 2 children are 22 and 18, so if your math is good you will see I was only a child myself when I had my first! My main area of difficulty at the moment is my daughter seems to be getting more and more oppositional every day, she argues with me constantly and it is really wearing me down, she also has PMS in the mix as well so once a month we have an aggressive monster in the house! It is almost like she has a split personality because she can be so lovely and caring one minute, then the next minute I am scared of her! I try not to think of the possible genetic thing, I hate to admit it but sometimes she reminds me so much of her father, I was married to him for 6 years and it was hell on earth. I have done the best for my kids, but at the moment nothing seems good enough for my daughter...at a time when I have finally got my son sorted out!! Any comments or advice will be much appreciated...Thanks in advance...Korky
