Going off to college soon but I am concerned about my mother. My doctor thinks that she is undiagnosed OCD. She always says that I don't have to take care of her but she always "needs" me to do simple things for her because they are too complicated. She is perfectly capable of doing all these things but calls me snotty when I ask if she could do it. If I spend a night at my fathers house (parents divorced) a night longer than usual she gets paranoid that I am annoyed with her or am mad at her. If we fight I am not allowed to not be sorry and she demands that I apologize. She says if I go far away that "there will be no one to pick you back up off the floor" referring to my depression and anxiety and constantly uses the phrases "I won't be there to take care of you" as though I am making an irresponsible decision. Im struggling to figure out how to handle this because it seems a bit more serious than empty nest syndrome.
