[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is your marriage OP?  When my child had negative self talk and suicidal ideation it was during the period of time when my ex and I were headed towards divorce and I was deeply unhappy.  Hopefully your overall household and family situation is calm and stable.[/quote]

OP here-  Thanks for asking.  Luckily marriage is calm and stable.  We have actually gotten closer by both going to therapy and getting support on how to help him together so we are on the same page.

As far as the PP who is saying we are feeding his issues---[b] I am not going to engage-[/b]-- I know our reality and came on here to feel less alone and find resources for helping my son and our family through a very tough time.  So many posters have provided me with what I need in the moment and for that I am grateful. [/quote]

Now try this with your son. Do not engage. Support by getting him new hobbies, facilitating friendships, increasing skills, spending time with him, etc. Not by perseveration of the issue. Read the literature yourself. You will be grateful later. [/quote]

Removing family accommodation of OCD, especially suicidal OCD, is a process best done with the guidance of a trained ERP therapist and after considerable psycho- education with both parents and child. Not after some rando on the internet flippantly throws out unhelpful and non-descriptive comments.[/quote]
