Son goes viral for sharing his \u201ctraumatic\u201d home life with OCD mom TikTok: zavhbruhA son has gone viral for sharing how \u201ctraumatic\u201d his home life is with a mom who has extreme OCD. TikToker, Zav, has gone viral for sharing what it\u2019s like living at home with a mom who has severe OCD. Though his TikToks about the \u201ctraumatic\u201d environment focus on his mom\u2019s OCD, Zav also gives insight into the various disorders his mom has such as bipolar, ADHD, and more. Viewers have since reacted with support for Zav, explaining how loved ones of their own suffer from the same thing. Mom doesn\u2019t allow son to go upstairs in their home due to her OCD Zav found himself having to move back to his family home, however, he described living with his mom who has obsessive-compulsive disorder as a traumatic experience, as she doesn\u2019t allow him to use most of the house. Opening up to his viewers, Zav showed all the areas in the house that he wasn\u2019t allowed to touch. For starters, he has to replace his socks with new ones before entering the house through the garage door. Zav then takes his viewers around the home where he explains which areas were \u201ctoo clean\u201d for him to touch such as kitchen chairs, couches, and an entire room. He\u2019s also not allowed to go upstairs and isn\u2019t supposed to use his mom\u2019s bathroom because he\u2019s \u201ctoo dirty\u201d despite being a well-kept individual. Zav\u2019s mom even eats by herself facing the wall because she\u2019s too germaphobic to eat around others like Zav, his dad, and his sister. Those who have seen Zav\u2019s viral story have related to him in his comments, saying, \u201cMy oldest son has contamination OCD, and one of the hardest things for my husband and I is him avoiding us because he thinks we are \u2018dirty.\u2019\u201d And, \u201cI have contamination OCD. I needed to see this. Because half I do seemed logical and the other half was probably where I was heading.\u201d Others shared their support by apologizing on Zav\u2019s mom\u2019s behalf, saying, \u201cImagine your own mom making you feel \u2018too dirty\u2019 for her, the emotional impact. I am so sorry bro\u2026\u201d Though Zav doesn\u2019t find happiness in his home, he\u2019s still living there. Fortunately, he\u2019s now created a safe space for others to relate to him, as he continues to share more about his life with an OCD mom.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
