intrusive thoughts and our family

[jaredParticipant]

Hello, I really want to tell my whole family more about my wife’s OCD and intrusive thoughts because unfortunately I just feel that she’s gotten too sick to help by myself and I want help but I am scared of their reaction and what they will say. Has anyone gone about telling your family about intrusive thoughts like this?
