............Dirt n touch
My mom doesn't wash her hands properly. She dislikes touching water. Her phone also remains dirty as many times while eating food she picks up call. Sometimes she ends up rubbing dirty hands on her clothes while cooking.. Due to all this I have been feeling distressed as I keep trying to avoid touching those things which she touches like taps, bottles, phone, door handles etc.. but problem is sometimes she touches me then I told her not to do so she becomes upset wid me but she fails to get my point
Today she by mistake touched my shoulder and I have no other shirt to wear now hence my mind is triggered and feeling restless that my shirt is oily n impure now

Don't worry, consult a good therapist or a psychologist.

Hi.... Please seek professional help.
This might be a simple case of you overthinking about this whole scenario or you suffering from a mental health condition (like, ocd).
You can discuss with your mother about this particular habit of her and tell her that you prefer things clean and not ok with her not washing hands.
Also, if this habit of her is actually at an extreme level, where she is actually unable to maintain basic hygiene. Than she also requires a professional assessment, as it may be a symptom of an underlying condition.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist and a Psychiatrist.
