My mom 60 years old and is suffering from uterine prolapse.she is weak on legs and sometimes she loses her balance and falls down.Last month she fell down ..nothing major happened..her muscle cramped so we planned to take her to hospital for physiotherapy.

I suffer from contamination ocd so being a ocd person,i avoid going out.Being out and being contaminated by germs gives me panic and anxiety attack.My sister wanted me to take our mom to hospital.I was not comfortable going to a hospital.I tried explaining but it resulted in huge fight and they guilt tripped me into going saying how i dont care for my mom ,how i am being selfish and all that ..Eventhough i was scared i went for my mom.It was nerve wracking and worst experience for me.It took me couple weeks to recover from that.

Yesterday,my mom had appointment for her uterine prolapse checkup.My sister and mom again said me to go with mom.I am on second day of my periods.I have pcod too so my periods flow and cramps are always worse for me.I am physically mentally drained on my period.This time i stood my ground and said no.I said i have my periods cramps.I cant travel in a car for 6hours straight with my period,no way of changing pad.I hate going in public washroom because of my ocd.since we are in a rural area and the hospital we booked takes 6h to reach.

This too resulted in a huge fight.My mom started crying like how i dont care for her. no one is there to take her.I told both my sister to go with mom but they refused.Both of their husband returned from abroad so they said they have to spend time with them.Which is a lame excuse.But my mom finds my reasoning as selfish and started crying.

Now i am projected as this ungrateful selfish,self centered arrogant adamant person who only thinks about my ocd and periods.No care for others.They showed me as this worse person in front of my family.I am pretty sure my dad brother mom sisters all hate me now.I dont know how to right this situation.Am i the asshole for listening to my body and for thinking about taking care of myself metally and physically and for saying no to my family?
