Guest guest Posted October 8, 1999 Report Share Posted October 8, 1999 Hi Vivian, yes the return of socks-and-labels trouble usually means a waxing period is coming around here too. I just wanted to say that you shouldn't berate yourself too much in not recognizing ocd in your son when he was younger. My daughter woke up one day having horrific obsessions, hearing these thoughts being spoken by such a young girl was so jolting. *No* parent could have failed to realize at that point that something was really wrong. But if she had not had this type of onset, I can easily imagine years going by before we were sufficiently worried to take her to a psychiatrist or psychologist. I'm glad you and your family are on the right track now, I'm sure the rapport your boy has formed with the doctor will be helpful.
