Today, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML

Or you could tell her that and potentially get to the root of your problem quicker

I think you needed to use more periods in that post. Reading it made my head hurt.

Be your own therapist! Write your feelings and thoughts down in a journal. I used to do that, it helped a lot. It may work for you. But your dad is an ass, I have no advice to help you with that. Sorry, op.

Gas prices have gone up quite a bit!

This isn't about the cost and effort of him driving you. Therapy changes people, and often it changes someone into a person that his or her SO, parents, or other important people don't like. I suspect that therapy is changing you for the better and your dad doesn't like, or can't cope with, who you're becoming. You didn't share why you're in therapy but, for example, if part of your problem is an inability to assert yourself, or parents who don't respect your boundaries, or your parents have some kind of weird little intrigue going on and you're their codependent in whatever it is, and you're getting better about that stuff, it's easy to see why your dad might want you to discontinue therapy.

Take the bus or find a new driver. Sorry about your dad
