Im a little sad. When my ocd was really bad and i was wasting away pushing people away and all that my parents and i had numerous fights to the point that my didnt wouldn’t get me anything for my birthday. He was upset that i was taking a brak from school and sleeping all day. Now im back to school and i finished my first semester with all A’s and one B (which was due to attendance) and he was like tell me what do you want for your birthday? I feel like i needed that love then when i was struggling more than now…. And its nice that he asks but i know he will only get me something that he thinks is ok. Example he doesn’t support me gaming for stress relief so he didn’t help me purchase any of the things i asked even though he said he would. I feel like i sound spoiled but i just wish that his support was unconditional and hed trust me.

I understand its never about the things but the support or the idea that you have to prove your worth to someone it hurts and right to be upset. Show him this community if you wish or watch ocd relates content with him about people's who's life went down hill as well. It won't make up for what he did, it will let him see the big picture. People tend to think about themselves the most and only see things thru thier eyes.not an excuse for them I know. I only think if they saw what it was like for a bit they'd understand more the need to be supportive.

that way if the future it is more likely they will be there for you. It's hard telling them what u feel so just let them watch with you if you can , it porbably will make them think for a bit. Here's one about a parent son relationship it's not much but it will reflect that ocd is very very horrible and destructive and in no way your fault. The fear of losing you or falling you is real tho they are neurotypival and can't even begin to know what ocd is. I don't and I think I have it

Anyway forty for the ramble but maybe just to keep it simple if they don't already know a quick overview over it and then a youtube video of people who have it could help :)

Your welcome for sure Coul I don't know your exact situation and I can only offer words for comrfot but I hope things do get better. If he really does want to help it's important he reliazes the struggle and learns to control himself as well. I get the whole anger and snapping can and do shock you out of compulsion I wish they realized it's not a healthy way to go about it. They'll be back and it just hurts. If anything the family therapy for him and your mom to help them is a good thing , it sadly just takes time a lot of it to even begin to understand a bit. Keep at it tho and help them realize ocd is a part of who u are and it won't go away at least that quickly. I think they just don't want to believe it especially with a lll thier turmoil in thier in relationship I feel like u having ocd is a final staw so to speak. It isn't your fault tho it can never be even if you weren't trying to recover from it it is a disorder, a plauge and nightmare to have. It's not your fault your suffering and I hope things do get better with your family life since I know I've had trouble with mine in general. I'm glad I'm able to help you out even if it's only a bit. Remember your valid and we're all here for you. God bless you and keep you safe :)
