Answers:
You have a strong obsessive compulsive disorder!.
When I was younger I used to have to touch everything in a new room twice!. I couldn't stop myself so people started thinking it was kind of weird when I moved onto the cutlery drawer!.!.!. It's not the easiest condition to deal with but it comes about due to a chemical imbalance in the brain and is also accompanied by a need for control!.
Were you ever in the position where you were unsure of what would happen next or was your father unpredictable in his behaviour!?
OCD is by no means the end of your world, so please don't go thinking that life isn't worth living because you can't change it!.
You can!.
There are several books on OCD!. It's also advisable to regularly see a therapist so she can help!. I could even send you the one i have if you want!? or put on ebay/amazon for you!? If not, here is a link to a book i'd recommend!.!.!.
http://www!.amazon!.co!.uk/OCD-Workbook-Bre!.!.!.
It's very important that you familiarise yourself with what you have!. I am surprised you didn't know it's OCD after your compulsions have become that severe but it's okay :) To break the cycle of OCD you need to beat it every time, or else it will come back!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I think that you should research Obsessive Compulsive Disorder to see whether you have some or all of the symptoms, because from what you say it looks like it!.
If you do have most of the symptoms then see a doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
