then my dad decided to tell me that he was pulling the plug on me, because he doesn't see any improvement externally and i'm not discussing what i discuss in therapy- he can't tell it's improving anything so he wants to like stop paying for it. and he also said that he wants to stop helping me financially with my apartment once the lease is up so that leaves me unable to stay there.
and i just sort of flipped out, he started ranting about the bible and stuff as usual and... i'm just sitting tehre feeling really misunderstood. i don't know how to tell him the therapy is working i just need time, and the reason i don't discuss everything i discuss in therapy yet is because i'm not ready i'm not done processing it. i tried exlaining this to my mom the other week when she got mad at me for not talking about it and telling her every detail as well. and she also threatened me with pulling th eplug on my apartment and the therapist if i didn't talk about it as well. it was stressful the way she did it and i just started crying and i told her, "i give up. i'm so tired, i just can't do this anymore." aka arguing and fighting for a way for them to support me and like me again enough to take care of things the way that would be helpful to me.
Jesus Christ honestly if your parent weren't supportive they wouldn't have been paying for therapy for as long you've been in it, I really do think they should cut off financial help, I feel like that would help you a lot
Nope. Her parents are worried whether she's telling the therapist the things they did to her, fear of exposure.
Blanc my cute, you should tell them whatever they want to hear in order to keep them paying for your therapy. They would deserve it since they abused you and you deserve some compensation if you will, I give you permission if you feel the need for it.
Just tell em that you're telling your therapist good things about them.
By "external progress" they don't mean signs of getting better, I think they think therapy will make you a more agreeable and malleable person because if you weren't insane you would do as they want and believe everything they say, right? Typical narc parent BS
So go ahead and play them as much as you can until you finish therapy and also seek to become independent yourself. I also have depression and C-PTSD, the beatings I took were much worse than yours and I still was able to put on my big boy boots. It's time to put on your big girl boots and take some responsibility for your life. You can't sit around moping over how shitty your childhood was and tell yourself your life still sucks because of that. You have all the control and options now. But on your big girl boots and cut off the umbilical cord.
