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

Today, my boyfriend came to visit from another state. My mom didn't want me to go to his hotel, but I did. When she asked about it, I lied to her and said I didn't go. She the showed me a picture of my car outside his hotel. FML

Trauma dumping

Today, my father forced me to go to therapy, then dumped out everything I made there into our sink. Apparently, I'm "not a batshit crazy psycho who needed to go to therapy." FML

Vengeance is mine

Today, I wouldn’t let my sister borrow my car, so she told our parents that I’m depressed and threatened to kill myself, which is a lie. My mom is on the phone to 999 trying to get me a 72-hour psychiatric hold in hospital, and every time I say it was a lie, my dad says I’m in typical denial. FML

Today, after finally seeing a psychologist about the death of my dad and spending the longest hour of my life confessing every thought I've experienced in the 6 years since his passing, my psychologist asked me if I was walking home or if my dad would be picking me up. FML

Therapy circle

By Not mentally well - 20/03/2024 10:00 - United States

Today, I found out that my dad has a therapist. That's cool. What's cooler is that she's a very nice lady, and even said to ME that I could talk too if I wanted to. Boy, do I want to. But if I did, then she would probably need a therapist herself, and the last thing my dad needs is his therapist needing a therapist. FML

Today, I told my dad I couldn't make the trip to see him this weekend because I had to work. I surprised him by driving ten hours, and while he was out, I let myself in with my key and hid behind the couch for when he came in. He walked in. I jumped out. I then had to call 911. FML

By psychic parents, how do they work? :( - 31/07/2013 22:49 - United States - Effingham

Today, I went to my dad, hoping to confess something to him. He quickly said that if I'd got my girlfriend pregnant, he'd kill me. That's exactly what happened. I had to make up a lie instead about stealing $50 from his wallet once as a kid, which he then demanded I pay back in full. FML

Today, my mom told me that if I wanted to commit suicide, I should make it seem like a car accident, and not do it in the house, because she would be too embarrassed if people thought she was a bad parent. FML

Your Dad is a dishonest and selfish person. I feel for anyone who loves someone like that.

Well, at least you got a look at the shape of things to come. I suggest that you don't count on your father for too much in the future. Especially if what you need is not in his interests or convenient for him. Everyone deserve a better father than that but not everyone is cut out to be one. Count. On yourself in this life and drive on.

OP: Gas is very expensive. So are therapists. Also, people who get degrees in psychology tend to do so because they are very screwed up, and are trying to figure themselves out. I know this because I have a couple in my family, visited one myself (ultimately pointless), and had one who was teaching my psych 101 class admit as much. The point is, do you really want these people messing with your head? Trying writing your thoughts in a journal. It works just as well. Also, get your dad to buy you something you really want in exchange for quitting...

As someone who's been helped in a massive way by CBT... no, writing in a journal is not anywhere near as effective as certain therapies.

Sorry. Get someone else to take you. You are talking to someone to help you with whatever you need instead of doing something unhealthy so that is good.

Today, my friend casually asked if she could “gift” me to her husband for his birthday threesome. I told her she was being rude, and made me feel cheap and objectified.
