 When my OCD was at it's worst with unwanted sexual thoughts of kids, I told some of my friends because I wanted to know it was ok but now that her and I are fighting really bad, she said something to me that makes me think, If I ever had a kid she would say something to someone and I was just wondering if you can get your kid taken away for unwanted sexual thoughts? I don't have a kid now but I know she still has that message from when I told her about it. Thanks

 Hi, Charisma, I'm no legal expert but I do NOT see how anyone could take a mom's children away from her merely because she had (unwanted) OCD thoughts. These kinds of thoughts are very common in OCD sufferers and the good news is that those of us with OCD NEVER act on the thoughts.

So please try not to worry about this, because honestly I don't think you have anything to worry about. This is a typical OCD obsession (please don't think I'm being dismissive of your fears, I've been there, but I also know how "sneaky" OCD can be!!).

I'll bet if and when you have kids, you will be a great mom, and nobody would ever dream of taking your kids from you!!

Hugs,

Patti

 OMG unwanted thoughts are part of OCD?! wow I thought I was just weird on another level!

does anyone think this happens because OCD is ESSENTIALLY A COLLECTION OF THINGS WE KNOW ARE WRONG TO DO? u know like counting over and over and such

Like I know thinking bad things is wrong so I think them and then get MAD! when I do...just like I know counting things like crazy is inappropiate and then I do it and get mad.

and I'm sure you will also be a great mom!

I!!!!!!!! am the ONLY one who can set MYSELF free!
