[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 284058, member: 1233"] Susan, You have been making some progress. but I honestly and truly think that you have NO CLUE how obsessed you are with difficult child. Trying to find that one thing to "help" him seems to be a compulsion for you, just like checking to see if the door is locked or the stove is turned off. You know, checking 1 time is OK cause everyone can be forgetful, but when you devote so much time and energy to checking, well, it hinders your life. There are actually MEDICATIONS to help with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I know you don't want to hear this. But you NEED to see a psychiatrist to be evaluated for this. It could make an enormous difference in not only your life, but also in the lives of the rest of your family. Heck, maybe if YOU get help and follow a treatment plan then difficult child might also commit to one. HE has to KNOW how unhealthy it is for you to be so wrapped up in him. He uses that to rope you into providing medical and dental care for him even when he abuses you (remember the time in your car that he wouldn't get out and even threw a taco in your face?). Maybe, just maybe, if difficult child sees YOU embrace treatment and get help then he would also be willing to get help. That certainly has at least as much chance of working as an intervention and probably way more than suboxone treatment. Since you are so willing to do anything to help him, I am challenging you to find a psychiatrist and commit to some real treatment to break the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) mess that has you so terribly enmeshed with him. Double Dog Dare You! [/QUOTE]
