7yrs ago we adopted a 4yr girl, she is just destroying our family. She seems to have the problems above. She has the public aid card and our HMO with Dr. Blair as primary. She can always walk the walk and talk the talk when we are with Dr. or other theripist. We need help!

My son has been under counseling for anger for 2 years now. He is currently having rages and verbally expressinh harm to his-self and others. his counselor suggested emmediate help for bi-polar. Not to be confused with ODD. Meaning in children bi-polar symptoms are ODD and should only be medicated as a bipolar diagnosis. My sons father is not diagnosed but has bi-polar as well as my father. It is hereditary in the family. The biggest issue in my sons case is that i am divocred and my ex brain washed our son into hating me and his siblings/counselor/cps/and any one that tries to help me with him.

Anyone know of any good help for teen boy with ODD? My teen is now refusing therapy and meds. (can't blame hime, we've been through so many and nothing seems to work) He will be 17 soon, so my time to help is becoming limited. He is on the verge of being expelled (for good this time).
