The more things change ...

[Trilby]

Ortho-my heart goes out to the both of you.

My son has/had OCD so bad that i HAD to throw him out at the age of 20. I couldn't take it anymore. He refused all help (I took him to three docs who all gave the same diagnosis and RX which he refused to take) and I offered counselling and bought books, etc. etc. Finally, it was him or me and I'd had enough. I love him so much-but I had to protect myself. He was getting violent if I accidentally interrupted a ritual-which were fucking constant.


Best thing for him. He's even better with his OCD now as he lives alone and has no one to bully about WHY he fucked up his hand washing routine or whatever. He IS better but I felt like a mean mommy, too. My dad had PLENTY to say about it; how wrong I was, etc etc. But his anxiety made me anxious and then I would binge drink.

Draw the line and stick to it. He's an adult now and you've lead him to the place where he can get healthy-if he doesn't go for it, that's on him.
