[quote=Anonymous]This is why most therapists are toxic, OP. Truly. I hear of so many stories like this. In the past, these young adults would be told by friends and relatives to snap out of it, and not throw out the baby with the bathwater. Nowadays, their therapists and friends egg them on without any regard for perspective or proportional response. In my 20s, I deeply resented my mother, for having smothered me as a child and forced me into seclusion (she guilted me into it because she is handicapped and did not want to be alone in the house). But despite a legitimate grievance, I got over it, and I understand that her chronic disability affected her social life and pushed her into a very controlling and unhealthy sort of parenting. She loves me very much, and I forgive her. There's nothing you can do except wait for her to come to her sense. I'm sorry you're going through this.[/quote]
