Hi I am no brainiac but to me when someone in a fammily is in therapy it is the WHOLE family that has an issue (many in fact) NOT just the one who wisely sought help. I have a step daughter (I never lived with her) that was sent to therapy as a kid. I hear the whole family talking about how much SHE needed it and all...but....as an outsider I would have to say they all did,,,,her dad broke her bones as a kid in HIS rages, and well a lot of things that I won't waste your time listing but that sez to me...As in the inmates needed therapy more than she did, To ME she is a sucess and much better then the rest of the family, she works isn't a mooch like her sister who drifts, does drugs and is an angry person, and just so much this gal works, goes to school and is a nice person. I think what she does as far as her dad is distance herself from his issues and pretty much is polite and friendly but doesn't get too hung up on what dad sez or THINKS about her. She knows he has issues and just no label. Hope this makes sense.
I guess to be succinct, just because someone doesn't have a T or dx doesn't mean they are well.
