> 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.
>Amen, Dinah. Even if we are all just sacks of chemicals (I tend to agree), we can notice that other people expressing their chemicals inappropriately can upset our own chemicals, especially when we are small children. Is this the only way our chemicals get out of whack? No. Sometimes they do their own thing and it really isn't situational.
But even so, why let our chemicals spew on other people who can't handle them, instead of using a trained chemical-spill technician?
My two cents, as someone who also wishes her parents had gone to therapists.
