Actually, I'm sure it does have a part in my family. And I contribute to that. :(
Truth be told, part of the problem is that it's hard to live with a person with OCPD. He really is close to perfect in most ways, and I invariably do things less carefully than he does. And of course, very high standards is part of the whole OCPD picture. I really like what my son's therapist has done with him in teaching him not to incorporate his father's disapproval. Wish mine were as good. :D
Part of the parity of the past week probably had to do with his anxiety at being away from the familiar (although I really do have a gift at navigation). Now he's back home, he'll go back to doing everything right and I won't do anything quite well enough.
But I'll try to hold on to that sense that I am not the second of his children or a complete idiot.
