RE: Husband not getting it.

[Guest guest]

I am not married and I can't imagine having to deal with a husband

that doesn't get OCD. My father doesn't get it. He doesn't believe in

going to the doctor. When I told him Olivia had OCD, he said they

diagnose everybody with that these days. He told me it was ridiculous

and I need to act like a parent. It is so stressful for me and Olivia

to be around him that I just don't see him any more. She was just

diagnosed this year but has had OCD since she was 2. I have only seen

my father 1 time in the last 3 years. It is very hard because he calls

and makes me feel guilty for not seeing him. He acts clueless. I try

to explain the problem and he pretends like I'm just saying that so I

don't have to see him. We use to be very close and he was a good

father when I was growing up. I just feel that if he can't be

understanding and show some compassion for what my child has to deal

with then he can't be in our lives. Olivia doesn't understand and will

ask why grandpa doesn't like her. Good luck with your husband. I think

verbal abuse is just as serious has physical abuse.
