[QUOTE="Josie, post: 245454, member: 1792"] I don't recommend this but I usually end up losing it and she gets her feelings hurt and goes up to her room, upset. Then I cool off and go apologize for losing control of myself and listen to her obsess on how I don't understand and she can't help it, etc., etc. That is over pretty quickly, though, and we are past the original obsession. If I had a situation like yours over the cheese curls, I would probably give her some cheese curls in her lunch and not care if she wanted to eat them before. I would just tell her that SO wasn't my child and unfortunately, wouldn't listen to me when I told him he shouldn't eat all of that. Hopefully that would work to get her off the subject but if not, see above.:disgusted:After reading Smallworld, I agree that trying to divert with something else also works a lot of the time. They do use SSRI's for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I can't remember if you have ever tried those? There are also natural supplements that some people have luck with. [/QUOTE]
