AITA for wearing latex gloves and fighting with my mom because of my dad’s severe lack of hygiene?”
I'm 15 years old and having serious problems at home, and I think I'm going crazy. My father has terrible hygiene issues. He only showers once a month, uses the same bar of soap for a whole year, doesn't use shampoo, and hangs his dirty, sweaty clothes in his room instead of washing them. Because of this, I've developed an excessive preoccupation with hygiene. Right now, I can't touch anything outside my room without wearing latex gloves. The situation has gotten so bad that I only shower once a week because the thought of using the shared bathroom or touching anything he's touched gives me unbearable anxiety. I've argued with my mother about this several times. She thinks I'm an idiot for telling him to shower or at least wash his clothes, and she sees it as a total lack of respect towards him. She doesn't understand that this environment is making me mentally ill and ruining my daily life. My mother makes me feel like I'm overreacting, but I live in a constant state of stress. Am I really the bad guy? Am I exaggerating? Help
