[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My good friend has a kid with ODD. Everything is transactional. My friend did a parenting class/support group for ODD kids and met other parents to commiserate with as well as learned specialized parenting strategies.

I'm sorry you are going through a tough time. Take it one day at a time. Find something that is just for you (e.g. coffee with a friend once a month).[/quote]

Curious to know what class she did and if she liked it. Both my husband and I attempted our own individual therapies within the last year to help us manage the stress, but we both found that our therapists didn't fully "get" it. So now we both see parenting therapists, who seem to understand how hard our kid's behavior is, but still haven't been able to offer advice or solutions. I just wish there was an answer.

Obviously we are all here because our kids struggle, but man, my kid is just so, so hard in a way that offers so little positive feedback as a parent.[/quote]

They are in CT. It is a small parenting group facilitated by a therapist specializing in working with ODD kids. Just remember you are doing the best you can and give yourself some grace to not be "on" sometimes. Find anything that you can look forward to at least monthly that is just for you. Encourage your husband to do the same.[/quote]
