Hello pinkestpink, OCD is a way of coping with anxiety and what can happen is the way of coping can be handed down to each generation as learnt behaviour. Remember that nearly everyone has ways of coping with stress that could be called OCD, it's only a problem if it affects your life and others in a detrimental way. Many people with mental health issues actually make better parents because they are aware of the issues and work on it, so don't write off having a child because of this.
