[QUOTE="paperplate, post: 578627, member: 15831"] ok, so we're starting home therapy. It's pretty intense, but the psychiatric says it's the only way we'll get anywhere. A psychiatric comes to you home almost daily and basically blends in. After a while, we all drop our guard and the psychiatric can see the root of the problem and help us to find a solution. I'm guessing it's going to be a little strange. husband showed up at the psychiatric appointment (never thought he would), anyway, he told the psychiatric about the financial control, the obsessive behaviors etc... psychiatric told him he is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) clearly, but she's willing to work with him. It's kinda strange, because I never envisioned him seeing a therapist. psychiatric said I'm overprotective and walking on eggshells etc...duh! Anyway, husband is living at his parents, which the psychiatric said was a good idea and she felt we could get more done that way. If husband agrees to work with her, he can have appointments working with his relationships with the kids.
