Miscellaneous: Fault

Fault

By problemchild - 02/11/2009 21:05 - United States

Today, I went to a family counseling session because my parents are getting a divorce. I told the counselor that I feel guilty because I feel like I caused it. She says that there is no way I could have caused it, that it's my parents' problem when my mom interrupts her to say, "Yes she did." FML

Thoughts and prayers

Today, my mom sent me to a counselor she knew "through the church" so that I could get some stressors off my chest. Worst idea ever. This "counselor" invalidated everything I had to say and basically told me to pray the issues away, all while completely ignoring me. FML

Today, during family therapy, the therapist asked if I believe I'm a good parent/husband. When I said yes, my two sons, my daughter, and even my wife very passionately disagreed. FML

Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML

Today, my mother told me: "If you didn't exist, I wouldn't stay with your father". So it's MY fault if she's having problems with him? FML

Today, I was arguing with one of my professors. She said that all married couples fight and I told her that my parents have never argued or fought about anything. When I got home my parents told me that they're getting a divorce. FML

Today, my mom and dad got into a fight, during which my dad said to my mom that her health conditions were of her own doing. Because of that, I got pissed and had a fight with my dad, taking my mom's side. Turns out, my mom took his side and ratted me out. FML

Narcissism in a nutshell

Today, my boyfriend's family offered me the trip of a lifetime visiting their families overseas. My mother threw a tantrum, telling me that it was my fault that she was never able to travel, it was my fault that she got pregnant with me and had to marry my abusive father. FML

Today, my shrink diagnosed me as severely depressive, due to a lot of stress and yells at home. After the session, my parents argued about whose fault it was and then went on to yell at me for being depressive and wasting their money. FML

Today, my husband and I went to marriage counselling. I confessed something that was bothering me, but he didn't understand. Our counselor repeated word-for-word what I said right back at him. He turned to me angrily and shouted, "Why couldn't you just say that the first time?!" FML

I've heard of this happening sometimes when the wife becomes jealous of the attention that the father pays to the daughter.

That's pretty ****** up to take a kid to see a psych for apparently the express purpose of laying the guilt on the kid. Even if the kid is an ass, she is the parents' ass and is the product of their upbringing. In any case, kids are not emotionally or mentally developed enough to know how to deal with all their parents' bullshit, and it is up to the parents to shield the kids from some of that. In this case the OP had better grow up really fast or else she will become even more ****** up than her mother.

Hey come on there is no way its your fault! and even if it was as a parent you don't say it is you work through it! If mom is that petty you're all better off without her.

Wow. You're mom's both immature and full of shit. She's responsible for her own decisions, the same as your dad. Good luck, 'cause it sounds like you're going to need it.

For future reference, that's the part where you start explaining to the therapist in detail how your mom is the cause of all of YOUR problems.

Cut yourself off if you can. If if you're getting blamed for their problems it's best not being around them at all.

Oh my god, i'm so sorry. Don't listen to your mom, she's a bitch. You in NO way caused it! Your stupid mom is just finding someone to blame because she caused it!

gees dont believe any of that B-S there is no frigging way that you caused the divorce. I'd stay with your dad... at least he hasn't blamed you for crap you didn't cause
