Hi all, only just signed up on here but need help.
We are a happy family wife, hubby (me) 8 and half year old girl and a 7 year old boy. We are a normal family with normal issues, and myself and wife do of course argue about things. Anyway our son has in the last few months really changed, he is constantly angry, refuses to get up for school, screams the house down, and is constantly saying to his sister he hates her, or to my wife or me. Yesterday had family day out which turned to a 40 minute screaming session in the middle of Romford with him saying worst day ever, he hates me, he hates this family he doesnt want to be part of it anymore.
This is killing me, my mental health is at an all time low (but its not me i want help with) we are desperate and dont know what to do and where to start. He has also very recently started constantly worrying about how clean he is and washing his hands constanty, he apolagises if he touches his nose for instance then says he has to go wash his hands again. I dodnt know what to do or where to go, he refuses to acknowledge us or answer us if we ask if he is ok.
Any help is so greatly appreciated and thankyou. S
