Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Of course, we *know* this will make our daughter's OCD worse, but as much as we want to control our fighting, it just seems to continue. Have any of you experienced this, if so, any advice? I lovingly call my husband a 'Neanderthal'. He really doesn't understand the disorder, but he does love our son and goes along with my/the doctor's agenda. He thinks our son is lazy, I truly believe our son is just rendered incapacitated at times, lots of times, by his OCD and anxieties and need for perfectionism, which is impossible. My husband commutes from NYC to Los Angeles, so most of this, if not all, has come down to me. That takes some stress away from arguments, but it doesn't take the stress away from the disorder. I don't have conflict on a daily basis in front of my face. You don't say what you argue about, but no question that both of you need to be on the same page. Perhaps the psychiatrist can enlighten your husband, or you can give him some books to read. Or simply agree to disagree, but agree that what helps your daughter is in her best interest, and sometimes it isn't what we believe to be true. Tough situation, I know. Good luck. Hang in.
