WELCOME

    Welcome to my Blog.  I want to tell you a bit about myself and my situation before I get into the meat of the blog.  I am a single mom.  I’m handicapped, disabled by an infection that nearly took my life.  I have a 17, nearly 18 year old son who has OCD, PTSD, rage issues, germ phobia, and agoraphobia.  Living with him poses a challenge that, I have to admit, I am not always up to facing.  Sometimes it’s a bit like living with the Incredible Hulk.  At those times I need somewhere to go for support and I just don’t have anywhere to turn.  With this blog I’m hoping to find that support and offer it to others who need it too.  He is adamant about not being written about and I have promised him that we will remain anonymous, so I will refer to him with the letter A.   I plan to provide links to articles and sources as well as maybe a laugh or two.  From time to time I might post an essay that has nothing to do with OCD.  I once wanted to have a humor/ human interest column in a newspaper and I wrote several diverse column-like articles that I’d like to share. I’m hoping this will be part support system, part advice column, and all enjoyable.   I hope this will turn out to be beneficial to all who visit.  I welcome comments, but ask that you be respectful to everyone here.  Anyone name-calling or otherwise being obnoxious will be banned from the site.
