[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think therapy can work, but you need the right therapist and possibly you need to set boundaries.

If your daughter keeps coming up with reasons for treating you poorly, perhaps ask the therapist what this might accomplish in terms of moving forward.

I agree with others in that therapists sometimes does not seem to recognize family obligations other than parent to child.  [b]Children have obligations to their parents as well, it's a two-way street.[/b][/quote]

Sounds exactly like what an abusive parent would say. No, your kids do NOT have any obligations to you. You choose to have them! [/quote]

I have a teen, and we’ve been in family therapy for a long time (he has special needs), and all relationships are a two way street. There aren’t obligations from child to parent in the same way there are from parent to child, but no relationship between 2 people is one directional. [/quote]
Well said!
The poster before seems to be on the TikTok trend of complaining of abusive parents because not everything they wanted or needed was given them according to their hindsight desires. It’s really ridiculous and not doing young adults any favors. [/quote]

Check out the ones where they disowned their parent for recalling they cursed once. And tik tok told them to kick them to the curb as a 25 yo. [/quote]
