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

Fun for all the family

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

kids are never the cause of a divorce. the parents just suck

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

some one gave me some advice once. just because you parents made you, doesn't mean they deserve you. I think your mom needs to grow up and get some more counseling. it's not your fault, just remember that it's up to you to grow up to be a better person than she is. good luck

anyone who says that its OP's fault is a disgrace to the human race. how can people be so insensitive and crude? obviously it wasnt her fault..her parent's marriage was corrupt for reasons deeper than children.

One thing I Iearned about divorces - it's never the child's fault.Even if the kid did cause a lot of problems for the parents,they were the ones who decided to bring him/her into the world without being ready for it. Anyway,OP,the therapist would be able to testify that your mother is not a fit parent after that outburst,and custody would go to your father,which might result in less alimony for her.She should have thought about it before she started pushing the blame on others.IMO,your mother's extremely immature and irresponsible.

don't believe her, she just wants someone to blame, she can't stand other people blameing her so she blames you. tell her thats your going to live with your dad, and see whats happens. she'll start crying if you go through with it. ask her why she feels that way, and tell her shes an ass hole. a big, fat, crusty, brown, ugly ass hole

Did the therapist told your mom to shut the hell up and LISTEN? Maybe that's really the main reason why your father divorce her. Be wise and not follow her footsteps. Good luck!

This is really sad! No child is the cause of a failed marrage. People can't deal with any "bumps in the road." Marrage is not easy by any stretch of the imagination. If the OP was really a major factor in the demise of her parents relationship, Mom would have brought this up SEVERAL times before saying it in therapy.
