ADHD, ODD

I have been immersed in the issues relating to such a child for seven years. He is my sweetheart's son, just 14. She is endlessly patient. I was raised on discipline, and our conflicts over the resulting disparity have been extremely painful. I have very gradually begun to really take responsibility for this, finally internalizing what was first an intellectual recognition that it is not so much the treatement rendered, but the content behind it -- love or anger. Mine has been anger. With determined determination, I am finally beginning to get past it.
