Hi, I didn't want to read and run.

I have a 13 year old son with ocd, he fears germs will kill him, its a horrible thing to have to watch and it has definitely built a barrier between the family as he won't sit with us because everything outside of his room "is dirty". He started his cbt sessions today in the hope we can get somewhere.
