[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 749796, member: 18958"] My son has not had a current driver's license in years. Why? Because he has Body Dysmorphic Disorder based upon some balding and insists on having his head covered all of the time. (He wears a hoody which he will not take off.) And the driver's license pictures here require hats off. Which he will not do. All manner of things, he is restricted from doing. We cannot attempt to solve these things for them or even to coach them. Based on my own experience, (painful) I know this. Either I get hysterical because he is impossible to corral (herding cats) or he gets hostile. Every.single.interaction you have with Josh leads to pain. Every.single.interaction gives him the opportunity to abuse you. This is not your fault. You are powerless here as long as you engage with him. You cannot solve ANYTHING for him right now. Every attempt by you leads to the same outcome. Pain. This is the learning right now. It is only for right now. Who knows what will happen in a month? A year? But right now this is what you have to deal with. There is hope but the hope right now comes from prayer. This is between you and G-d right now, as I see it. Not between you and Josh. All of us here understand your pain and suffering. I sure do. But some of this right now is self-inflicted. That is your job to stop. I am doing in my own life exactly what I am recommending. I am a Jew. I have turned to people in my faith who help me through prayer and meditation and spiritual counsel. This has helped me like nothing else. I truly believe what we are dealing with is primarily spiritual in nature. If I see it this way there is hope. [/QUOTE]
