DS19 has awful personal hygiene and its making me so upset for him but also angry.
DS is at uni, however this lack of personal hygiene is not new. He has been like this all his life. He is also massively obese. He smells of BO. He sleeps in clothes and wears them all day. He doesn't wear deodorant. He has a shower or bath but doesn't use soap.
His teeth are a massive issue. They are disgusting. Ive paid over and over for scales and Polish (£75). The dentist who is lovely has had stern talk with him, nice talk with him, shown him photos of what will happen.
His eating is absolutely out of control and he is so unhealthy.
He has social anxiety and always struggled to make friends. However he has made 2 or 3 friends at uni. He is massively into gaming and loads of friends online.
Hes not depressed, singing, joking, dancing in kitchen. He is attending uni fine, doing fine in his work, he is funny and kind and affectionate.
I do suspect he has ADHD. Ive asked if he wants counselling to talk about his social anxiety..he says no hes fine, he just avoids people.
Im so sad because he is so lovely.
Does anyone else have an experience like this?
I think noone is ever going to want to be friends or romantic with him because of his awful personal hygiene
