I can relate to most everything here. Get professional help. I let mine go way too long and the stress of it almost cost me my life. It’s not healthy for your heart.Last edited by Bayouboy; 06-29-2022, 08:02 PM.

I would reach out to Texas Workforce Commission and see what programs they might have to help. Should offer a few things for you. I would also reach out to the Special Education Director at your local school and see what supports are in your area. I would be up front and let them know you aren't looking for them to pay for anything but just need help with resources. They should have some answers for you.

it's easy to be insensitive without walking in those moccasins.
I raised 5. I've got a daughter (adopted) with serious depression issues. She's an adult and I don't know what to do either.

Thanks everyone,
He is a germa-phobe. Big time hand washing issues. It has gotten a little better over the years but still a ways to go. My frustration is that he refuses to seek help. If given him references of docs, books to read, forums to go onto to chat, (because he’s embarrassed to talk to anyone face to face, and says people don’t understand, even those with ocd because it’s different for everyone). It’s really stressful on both my wife and I. She helps him with certain things more than I, because I’m trying to force him into “working through it”, by seeking help in some manner, and I feel she’s enabling him, but when her and I talk she’s just frustrated and has no energy to fight with him. I’m ready to kick him out (again trying drastic measures) to force him into change.

I can't help you with this particular problem ,but I have dealt with someone with mental issues for a while. It is extremely frustrating and will be praying for your family. For us it was a matter of them realizing that they needed help and it wasn't going to fix itself. It's much the same as an alcoholic or drug addict. They have to want the help. Also it took many doctors to find the right one that found the right combination of meds to keep the problem under control.
