For the day when DH realizes that SD11 needs serious and possibly, in-patient analysis...I have made a list of all the bizarre, disturbing, creepy, odd and downright unnatural behaviour, that I have observed, in the past 4 years.

Any feedback on the following would be welcomed and appreciated...
Any opinion by an actual professional will be used as my evidence to plead my case with DH.
