Is my mother really bad or is it just me...

MAYBE ITS HER DISORDER..IN YOUR 2 HRS THAT you HAVE A DAY SEE ABOUT GETTING HER INTO COUNSELING..BECAUSE HAVING DISORDERS THINGS MAY GET EVEN WORSE!! HOW LONG HAS THINGS BEEN THIS WAY??

I agree, she does need help, people with OCD normally can’t control it. They need to be taught how. I also agree with you, it is unfair to you but try to be patient with her, if you get her help it will get better

I agree with u ..your mom can still do SOMETHING even if she has ocd…honestly I think thats really unfair

I used to have OCD, its a terrible thing, I cried so much, because I just couldnt bear seeing things messy or unclean, its annoying, and irritating, and it takes up so much of your time, and you usually end up screaming and going mental, your mum isnt being lazy, she is avoiding to do anything, because whn she starts doing the cleaning, she could be there for like half and hour, cleaning it over and over , when she knows its clean, but you keep cleaning,and it prob gets her all worked up, thats why she gets you to do it, because she doesnt have to go through the pain of gettin worked up so much, it may seem mean, but I dont think she wants to be, she needs help, talk to her and get her to see someone, Ocd usually grows out of them, but people are differant on these things. Take care xxx

I’ve never heard of a person with OCD getting other people to do their cleaning (usually they believe they’re the only ones who can get it clean enough). I guess you learn everyday. Yes, OCD is a problem in itself that she should be getting help for, however to make it your problem, is just wrong… Getting help wouldnt stress her out more. That’s what the help is for… To destress. Try talking to her calmly and saying you care about her and think she should get help. Simply yelling and threatening to leave if she doesnt get help may not be the way to go here…

THANK GOD others finally agree with me…

no I don’t think so. just sit her down and talk to her, get her to go to a shrink.

I think that the right way to go about this would be starting to ask her to help more, maybe, or pointing out that somethings already clean. Having her go to a concellor or someone would be a good idea, too.
