>>>Give myself something real to hurt about...
Hi ELA,
Your father's treatment of you is real.
Does it hurt?
ELA, if he and you are in therapy together, I also hope you get private sessions too, so you and your T can talk openly about your relationship w/ your dad. If your dad is in treatment w/you then his words must be heard by the therapist, so s/he can protect you, while your father works on getting well.
Please do keep Kiddo's chat offer in mind, talk yourself through it, talk yourself to sleep, perhaps you'll feel differently after rest. If not, can you see your therapist today?
Also are you familiar w/DBT therapy? Is that an option? I *think* it costs less than half what you pay for regular therapy, insurance usually covers it. DBT could be a useful addition to your therapeutic network.>>because I'm sick of trying to get through this on my own now.
I agree, you need to stop doing that. Can you give us a chance?
I hope to hear from you again soon. Please take care.
