[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 700170, member: 15032"] My son has anxiety and once told me that he felt very vulnerable when he was in the shower. Naked etc. He said he knew it doesn't make sense because he knew he was safe, house was locked, bathroom door locked etc. but still hated to take a shower because of that. I have also heard that NOT showering can be a form of control. Sometimes that is ALL these Difficult Child do have control over. I remember when my father in law stayed with us for a bit, he smelled to high heaven. Since it was my husband's father, HE gave him towel, washcloth, fresh bar of soap and told him to get in there! We later found out he was afraid he'd fall. Oh and he had no sense of smell. Since you're the stepmother (I'm one also), I'd let your husband tell him that if he wants to live in your home he must shower daily. Period. [/QUOTE]
