[quote=Anonymous]OP, you are still avoiding addressing your reason for therapy directly. If the answer is "to work on communication" then say so. But it kind of sounds like there is actually a lot of resentment and conflict under the surface in your family. You are annoyed because someone didn't let you know - that's the feeling here. Repeats of that annoyance (as would happen if it's a pattern entrenched enough to send you to therapy) will absolutely result in you having feelings that the family member in question is not reliable, doesn't care enough to let you know they're safe, offers BS apologies to excuse poor behavior. Those may be facts based on actions, but they are also emotional impressions that affect family life. Maybe most of the time you are fine and you do not experience acute joy. I think that's normal. But your posts have a really "but it's fine, it's all fine" flavor to them. I think the therapist can either sense the resentment building underneath for the family members in question or is confused about why you are in therapy at all if it's all so fine.

I also find it a little suspect that you won't identify roles in the family as well as the problem. Kind of a difference whether the "problem" is a parent or a child, a big kid or a little one, etc.[/quote]
