[QUOTE="WMNancyinCA, post: 341823, member: 9004"] You guys are awesome! I NEED to hear these things. You are giving me tough love and I need to give that to difficult child. He does walk all over me - because I let him. He will SCREAM at me and I just stand there. I love that response "I can't hearing screaming". I am going to use that. He does have some mental health issues. Obsessive Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD). Not the Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) where you do the repetitive things or counting, etc. but the PERSONALITY DISORDER where he ruminates about things, he is always right, he has high moral standards, cannot make decisions easily, etc. Unfortunately he doesn't think he has a problem - it's all us - so it's difficult to get him into counseling. MY counselor definitely thinks he would benefit from some. I can't MAKE him go. We have gone together but it seems no matter WHAT the counselor says my difficult child comes out of the appointment saying "see I told you you were wrong". I've sat there and heard the counselor say "difficult child it sounds like your parents are doing a very generous thing for you" and difficult child doesn't HEAR that. And YES I've tried EXPLAINING until I am blue in the face. Doesn't matter. My head is spinning with all the ideas you have given me. I can't thank you enough. I'll be sticking around here for sure. by the way thinking of where I was at age 26 - Had been working for a living since age 17, married, bought a house, had difficult child at age 25. [/QUOTE]
