Wow, Missy Muffet - that must be really stressful and tiring for him. I've just replied to another one of your posts - didn't know the "he" to whom you were referring. How old is your son? Do you think he would benefit from an OCD support group? I visited one a while back, and ended up going a couple of times; it really helped, and got me out of the house. Tell him to make a Batch file; he'll know what I mean. (nerd joke)
