> Thank you Dinah for expressing your thoughts so well- I began to reply and found myself so angry (as I did with Old School's reply in the case of the Mom killing her children). I would be dead without therapy, just as I would without medication. I guess I just can't understand this either/or thinking- judy
You are very welcome Judy. I'm glad that someone got something out of a post I labored so long over. I try not to engage in either/or thinking but I have reason to understand it very well. And there's no point in being upset over it.
I'm not sure if I would be dead without therapy, or meds for that matter; it may be true or may not. But I do know this beyond any shadow of a doubt.
I am a better mother because of therapy. I will never use my child as a therapist substitute or burden him with my problems. I will allow him the chance to be the child, one who doesn't have to worry about the well-being of his parents. I really wish that my parents had had therapists.
Thanks again,
Dinah
