I’ve developed OCD away at school for the last year and since I’ve been home my family has begun to notice.

My dad apparently had some symptoms way back like 40 years ago, but he says he overcame them and hasn’t really had any since.

But I’m afraid that he might watch me while I’m living at home and see my compulsions and rituals and stress and get triggered, and fall back into OCD.

Is this possible? Or does OCD only come from the inside personally?
