Guest guest Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 Tonight my son came down and showed me more information on Elanin the rock thats supposed to come close to the earth Sep 6th. He told me that it could cause a Earthquake and if it did we would have to evacuate then told me we need to buy a gun because if this occurs we need a gun because people will try to steal our supplies, now I told his doctor about this before and he asked him if he was spending a certain amount of time researching this, he said no so his doc said then its not OCD? I guess I want to get your take on this because I think it sounds like OCD to me. prior to this was we need to get a gun because of the financial collapse thats going to occur and we need protection. Which on some points he may be right but I think he is spending way to much time on these types of thoughts. Maybe I am wrong i dont know. But I told him I wasnt getting a gun,he then said that it isnt fair because he is only 14 and if i get a gun we could survive. Any thoughts? hearing this kind of talk constantly has me frazzled I try to talk to him about i bu anything I say he rebutts he is very stubborn and shows me facts and data to support his claims.

Guest guest Posted August 4, 2011 Report Share Posted August 4, 2011 I don't think it matters at all if your son is spending alot of time researching this or not. Is he distressed or bothered by all of this? ________________________________ To: Sent: Thursday, August 4, 2011 8:54 PM Subject: Ocd or not?  Tonight my son came down and showed me more information on Elanin the rock thats supposed to come close to the earth Sep 6th.
