I'm confused OP. You're in family therapy. Did you think that only your problems with them mattered, or did you just put yourself on a pedestal above them? Maybe that's why you can't see what's going on down there? Seriously if you want to make anything work that isn't based on mutual self-interest (which any kind of interpersonal relationship be it friend, family, or life partner, shouldn't be based on), you need to work on honesty and communication. They're being honest and communicating with you. You're the one who may not be taking this seriously.
omg. that sucks!!! I'm sure u are doing the best u can xx
Try looking at it this way: I've been through my fair share of group therapy, and one thing always stands out above all else: "Who is the common denominator?" If everybody disagrees with you, does it mean that everybody is wrong, or just that you are? Pay attention to what your family says during your sessions and instead of dismissing their reasoning behind their "passionate disagreements", try to improve/work on their issues. Saying that you're the victim and your life sucks is denial. It's highly unlikely that everybody agrees on this, but that the problem lies with them.
Well I guess if your kids and your wife don't think you're a good father you're not doing something right
that's your fault, boo boo
this is the perfect time to open your ears to what they have to say, and try to understand their feelings

Hey, that's why you're there. Just remember that.
I guess now you know you have some things to work on... that's not a bad thing. It's all about communication at this point. I wish you the best though OP.
