“So you are not OCD – that’s good – as you say – that’s the favourite diagnosis for kids these days. So why is this personality disorder different ?”
“I think the personality disorder is more about writing too many lists and being a perfectionist “
“Sounds like you “
Bette smiled “I know – whereas OCD is more about compulsions “
“You have a few of those “
“I do – apparently dad spotted how I wash up”
Shane raised an eyebrow “And how do you wash up ?”
“Properly “
“Define properly “
Bette sighed “How about we go for a walk – I could do with talking and not here”
“Fine – I heard that maths is cancelled first period after lunch “
“Yeah -bet that’s why you came rushing back – just so you miss the class because it was cancelled “
“See “ Shane stood up “THAT’S almost funny “
Shane stood up and watched as Bette very carefully put the strip of red card that she used as a bookmarker in the book she had been reading. She took her pen from the spiral and put it away – then she carefully tidied her bag. Shane didn’t try and hurry her along – she just watched in as non-judgemental way as she could . Once her bag was tidy she put her blazer on – straightened her tie and they headed out of the library. They strolled out of school and were soon walking along the streets.
“So – what’s wrong with how you wash up ?”
“I wash all the cutlery one item at a time – then I put them all away then I wash the plates and dishes then I change the water for a third time and do the same with the pans and stuff”
“Sounds long winded but not exactly harmful “
“Well that’s not what dad thinks – he’s been spooked by mom I think and that’s was why I got dragged to see the psychologist “
“Have you got to see him again ?”
“He’s recommended me seeing a therapist “
“Oh “ Shane cringed “I have seen more of those than I care to admit “
“Why ?” Bette asked.
Shane smiled to herself . Shane’s past was common knowledge at school – she didn’t hide it because she figured out that it would become news if she did. Bette knew as much as anyone else but she didn’t judge Shane in the same way as the other kids did.

Welcome back! Congrats on your sobriety! My father was an alcoholic and kicked the habit for five years before he passed away. Would you ever write a story where the main character dealt with this problem or would that be too sore a subject? Great update!
