no, you mother does not think that she said so in her own words. Put yourself in her situation PLEASE. She sees offspring spiralling downward into mental illness, she knows though she can not acknowledge it because only BAD parents have "crazy" kids, which makes her? In a very difficult discussion best held by a mental health expert, Mum with no training is asked how to invalidate the fear without invalidating the person, her beloved child. She does well but she has some acceptable slips, she's not a professional. Now she has to backpedal or forepedal like mad to ensure her slip ups, the self same ones her child now clings onto are not awful people, and not being used against her. Because no matter what she says she'll be wrong either way because the child OCD wants validation for the OCD versus fighting the OCD she has been recruited, unfairly, into this OCD. Then the child shows some level of emotional attachment to some damn fiction character she doesn't know a damn thing about and criticising this character somehow causes defence reaction in child- hardly fair. Stop recruiting people, your OCD is a greedy attention seeker. You have to fight this battle alone, no fictional characters because this is reality now and nothing of pen and ink is going to help you aside from mental health books. Getting over OCD by Jon Abramovich was a good one for me along with its workbook. Start NOW, when you're young it's far harder to fight when you're older and your adult, educated brain is far more agile as a fully developed OCD monster with adult brain & education at it's disposal. See a psychiatrist or psychologist too and don't rely on anyone but you. The OCD is your cross, no one elses.
