Comment by Joanna Trusdle on November 11, 2009 at 3:30pm - Linda, so glad to hear you are going to get him some help. Here is a link to the American Academy of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry. There might be some helpful information there. Please let us know how things go. http://www.aacap.org/cs/root/facts_for_families/children_with_oppositional_defiant_disorder

- I just wanted to add - Linda, these might not have been the answers you expected, or you might have just thought it was a discipline issue, but something in your son's life has triggered these reactions, and if you don't take responsibility for him, he will become an aggressive, hateful man, as Stephanie earlier stated. Please stay in contact, as we are all concerned about you and your son.

Linda,
I concur with Joanna and Stephanie.......your son is exhibiting signs of deeper issues within. You owe it to yourself and your son to get to the root of those issues. Don't wait.......this matter is urgent. You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
