All this stress is the last thing you need to be concerned with. I suggest seeking out a therapist, counselor, or some sort of family therapy to help you and your husband work as a team on everything. OC is no joke! It is a deadly disease that takes lives. At a time when you should be thinking about finding the right doctors and treatment facility to get your treatment plan set up, you are distracted by unneeded drama. I wish the people you are telling us about had some compassion and were capable of taking care of their own affairs without needing you and your husband to help them. The timing couldnt be worse! Sometimes in life we must take a stand and do things to put ourselves first. To me this is one of those times where you must take care of yourself and not all these other people.
Wishing you all the very best!
PS... I wrote you a long reply to your first post addressing things to help you with being recently diagnosed.
