Guest guest Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 I have a 12 year old son who has OCD and ODD. I seam to be the obsession and he controls everything I do, making me repeat myself and continuosly doing thing for him that he can do for himself (get dressed, comb hair, eat, etc.) He is not in any way disabled. He is a very smart boy. Anyway, his couselor and I have decided that I am going to quit doing things for him cold turkey. Because as I would stop doing one thing he would just add another to the list.So as of today, he has to get himself up and ready for the day, school etc. and if he's not ready to leave at the appropriate time than he pays the consequences with the school for being late. He is fighting this " cold turkey " very hard but I see no other choice. I think that after a few weeks it should become easier for both of us.
