Spouses not dealing with ocd

[Guest guest]

My son has just been diagnosed with OCD....quite an unusual form, he has a

compulsion to push his fingers and other objects into his nose and mouth. It was

a very sudden onset, I found it easy to understand this condition as my sister,

aunt and cousin all have it, my husband on the other hand is finding it very

difficult to understand. He gets angry saying things like " its all in his head,

hes attention seeking!!! " or " this has gone too far !! Stop it " .

How does one try to make him understand. I feel like hes also keeping a

distance from my son..has anyone else has experiences like this ....how have you

coped?

Thanks
