Kathy, I agree with you. While there are things that we do decide to not

deal with at times (Hannah's PE situation for example) there are a couple of

hard

and fast rules that I don't want to budge on. One of them is attending

school and the other is not sleeping with me. As you said in your post, there

are

many families who make other choices and I think that it is fine for people to

choose. I think that because sleep issues involve everyone being tired and

desperate for relief and because school issues involve other people like

students and teachers, people tend to bend on these and allow the OCD to control

the

situation. I know that it is so hard to fight a child who is afraid to stay

in their own room or afraid to walk into the classroom but having dealt with

both and succeeded, I know how wonderful it is to watch that same child climb

into bed happy or go through that door at school, lunchbox in hand. I also

feel very lucky to have had the support of my family and school system while

working through these things. Kelley in NV
