Bam. LA- Mine says the same thing. He says it to hurt me. It actually does not have the intended effect. Frankly, I am nothing like my mother except in how I manage my anger with the mouth. Otherwise, nothing. My mother was physically abusive as well. In addition, she is most definitely narcissistic. In some ways, she and H are much more alike than she and I are.
I likely do have OCD. I have ADD and anxiety as well. I have taken meds in the past. I am not on anything now. I have been considering something. If you can even imagine I am all over the place. I try to really do lists and I have to stick with them and do things in short bursts. My calendar is my friend and I have come up with various ways of coping.
I never really thought I was OCD until recently. So perhaps it is compounded by the added anxiety of the sitch?
BTW- My learning style is read/write so I completely understand the book thing ;-) I will check those out.
