Trying to protect myself?

[deenamilton238Participant]

Hi Am I trying to protect myself and everyone else in my family from my son’s negative intrusive thoughts, I know I can’t have control over his ocd life experiences. I know I have to let go a bit, and let his life happen. I care about our family, but I mustn’t get in the way of his life, that would lead to him resenting me, right?
