I was remembering something from when I was 16 yrs old.  My mom was a severe alcoholic so our home life was very toxic.  Everyone suffered because of it.  At 16 I developed OCD.  I would was my hands until they were red and raw.  I was afraid to touch doorknobs and other things I thought were dirty.  There were many other symptoms.  I was afraid if I didn't keep clean people would think I was dirty and undesirable.

My parents responded to my OCD with anger.  They would yell at me and give me lectures about how my strange behavior was unacceptable.  They would make fun of me about it.  My mother even took the soap out of the bathroom and hid it in her room.  They never got me any help.

I was talking to a CPS counselor that came to my school at the time.  He wasn't much help.  He gave me bad advice such as not to let my mom's drinking affect me.  He would not put me in protective custody.

I couldn't understand why my parent's were so upset with me.  I thought parents liked having clean children.

The OCD would come and go depending on how stressed I was.  It pretty much phased itself out over the years.
