Hi, i am caring for my daughter with OCD, she has just turned 29 yesterday and was diagnosed at age of 11, we have had some really terrible times, she suffers from the fear of vomiting and illness so shuts herself away, she has had ect which did bring her out of a very bad stage, she has been into a therapy unit in london but that didn't go well as we are in midlands and that was in london so too far from home and she was terribly home sick and came home after a month....where we are now and my question....she was in an assisted living flat which was great but she still wouldn't interact with other residents only the staff and although half an hour away she wanted to be closer and was very lonely, she has moved into a house in the village she grew up in but again is very lonely, she is on medication, she is in CBT, at the minute with help of a social worker we are trying to get her into an art group to get her socializing, as soon as i get home from work she is round ours and when it is time for her to go home she gets very upset saying she hates living alone and wants to come home, we are resisting saying she needs to be independent..........am i thinking too much/wrongly that living alone is being independent when i should be thinking about the social side of things like the art group, they have cut her housing benefit so i am now paying half of her rent to keep her there which is causing me financial problems.....please give me advice on what to do for the best for her.
