My mother is wonderful, don't get me wrong. She just isn't the best in certain situation. Like ones where something is wrong with one of her children which can be extremely annoying when I need help. If something goes wrong, she either doesn't want to get help at all and wants to wait, or she thinks we need to go to the ER. My parent are separated and have been for 11 years, my dad moved out when I was 5. My mom has this extreme hate for my father that I don't understand but accept. She can't afford for me to get help but my father can. The only issue is my mom doesn't want me to go on his health insurance and tells me to stay on her health care plan because she want to get a legal divorce and that will interfere with it. I've been dealing with OCD for as long as I remember and my father really wants to help me because he understands how much all of the symptoms are affecting me. I have serious intrusive thoughts that give me anxiety and feeling of guilt. I've resorted to cutting myself as punishment for my disgusting thoughts. I also have really scary thought that someone is going to kill me in my sleep or that they will kill my mom or dad or brother and I will have to live with finding them dead and bloodied. Then I think of how terrible my life would be and how I would end up killing myself or getting killed by the murderer. I'm sorry this is getting very into detail but it's terrible stuff like this I have to live with. I would at least like to get tested to make sure that this is what i'm dealing with. It's just really stressful dealing with school, my parents, and my symptoms. So I have a few questions. How could I convince my mom to let my dad help out? Does this sound like OCD to you? Will that really affect anything with their divorce? Could my dad take me while I'm on my moms health care?
