My 12yo so has gotten much worse with, what I believe is, ODD since his father and I split up about 2 years ago. It would sometimes seem he's hellbent on hurting his own life as well as mine (his mum) and his sister's - the very people who love and live with him! He shall begin new assessment (after SIX years' insistence from me) with the Head of our local CAMHS as well as some input from the EP service at his secondary school. I will not stop seeking help until I begin to see a change! (<- Practising Nichiren Daishonin's Buddhism and chanting Nam-myoho-renge-kyo every day helps 100% in this quest!)
