[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][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]

I suspect that therapists cause more problems than they solve.

Typical response given by someone who is not capable of admitting their own fault or failures.[/quote]

Yup. Totally lacking introspection and empathy, too.[/quote]

+1 OP’s response is unbelievable. [/quote]

It’s clear to see why her kids might have issues from their childhood. [/quote]

GTFO. You know next to nothing about how OP raised her kids, because she’s told you next to nothing except that she homeschooled them. We know something about you, though: you’re definitely a misogynist and possibly an anti-religion bigot. [/quote]

Narrator: it wasn't the homeschooling per se, it was the forced religious indoctrination, the parental fighting (which is scary when you're a young person) and op's now apparent scapegoating of her son (he was difficult, etc). You gtfooh[/quote]
