[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So DS 30's has finally gone into therapy to work on himself, but now he is basically blaming me and my marriage problem/fighting, my religion that I forced on him, my homeschooling, my house rules, etc. All these things caused his mental problems and unhappiness according to his therapist. I have apologized if I contributed but there is not much to be done now. He wrote me a letter about it. It's depressing have all this blame hurled at me, I can't change the past and I wasn't a perfect parent - but we did our best and I thought he had a fairly happy childhood, much better than DH and I. I tried to give him the childhood I wanted as a kid. It's causing me to feel down. No one can hurt you like your kid.[/quote]

Welcome to therapy in the 2020s. My kid did same. How do I know it was the therapist? He got a recommendation from a friend and that friend’s mother told me the therapist said to my adult kid, what she said to her’s. I’m now the complete demon and my kid is someone I don’t recognize anymore - we used to be much closer. My husband grabbed onto it and took my kid’s side, which I pretty much expected anyway. One more kid to permanently launch and I’m taking my life back. [/quote]
