Glad to hear he's come to grips with the OCD, one way or another. He does look very happy in his new situation. Good for you, Tril.

You know, after I posted that he had crippling OCD so I kicked him out I realized that sounded rather cruel if you didn't know the machinations I went thru to get that boy help. Three different docs told him he had OCD and here's the med for it---he refused the med and disparaged all three docs with , "They think I'm crazy!!!" I was there in the room with them. Nobody said 'crazy' at all. He refused to go to a therapist I offered to pay for----and a good one, at that, which is no easy feat to find. Refused. When he came at me, all 6' 6" of him, I told him to get out or I'd call the police. He was pissed and that was all last Jan. He's seeing a therapist on his own now but I am forbidden to talk / ask about it, which is fine. Once he didn't have a punching bag to blame all his mojo on he had to deal with it. That's how all that came about.

Oh I remember, you posted a lot about it at the time. You put up with a hell of a lot before you finally had to do the tough love thing.

6'6".
Can I swoon any more...?

this wonderful result might have seemed unimaginable at the time. I love a story with a happy ending (middle? current episode?)

believe me-you don't want to.

he's 22. Yuck. I like my men with some seasoning on them, ya know?

I'm wondering about a stage magician with OCD. Does he always pull two rabbits out of the hat?

[footfootfoot]

he just keeps pulling it out over and over

[Trilby]

Actually the OCD helps with the training---doing the same trick over and over and over until it's perfect. It's the "magic" rituals that finally got to me. If he enters a certain room he has to do a ritual with his feet or hands (something he thinks other people don't notice but I notice) and he's weird about food (as you can see he's a bit on the thin side) all he has to do is take one little pill a day and these compulsions would go away but he won't do it. He thinks he should be able to OUT THINK his own brain wiring. Like a depressed person willing themself out of depression. All I know is that willing yourself out of chemical nuttiness doesn't work BUT he is better.

I once willed myself out of a broken ankle. It took me 8 weeks in a cast, but I was finally successful!

j/k But that is kind of how my wife thinks. She still thinks a) she's not depressed and b) Depression is a weakness of character.

that's what Danny thinks, too.

It drives me batty when he doesn't have to suffer but insists that he does.

He has the perfect 'entertainers' face Tril. I hope this sustains him for a long while, since he loves it so much.

thanks. He is charming when he wants to be. and he has a good smile.

it's funny--when I was pregnant with him his father (who has dark brown hair) said, "He'd better not have red hair!" (my family has it) and what do you know- I got a redhead anyway!
