Guest guest Posted February 5, 2005 Report Share Posted February 5, 2005 I agree talking is key - when I look back on my life with my son it's the richness of the dialogues that I'm particularly grateful for. However, since his ocd has reached this higher peak I see an evasiveness, a discomfort, a fear in his face that wasn't there before. It comes up when the conversation turns to the ocd that goes on in his head. I can feel myself preparing to break through this - my suspicion is that during the years we didn't know anything about ocd he would bring up his bizarre fears and ideas - and I would have said something like, " no, no, you shouldn't think about things like that, it isn't good for you. " just as I would have discouraged thoughts of shoplifing, or bullying.... now he 'knows' those thoughts and ideas bother me, that I disapprove of them, that they upset me... I need to get us past this. I need to find a respectful, gentle, kind way to do it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
