That is so sweet. Some therapists really do care.
Her attitude does stand in stark relief to his.
I'm sure you already have heard my opinion about your pdoc so I won't repeat it. If you're finding it useful that's what matters. You have more courage than I do. I couldn't have tolerated it at all.
I can't remember if you've answered this already, but does the relationship between the three of you echo the relationship between you and your father and your mother? Is your therapist similar to your mother? Or maybe how you wish your mother would have been in your struggles with your father?
I was just wondering. I'm not sure you'll ever get the response you want from your pdoc, due to who he is not who you are. But you are getting the response that a good mother should give in those situations (well, if the good enough mother chose that man to father her children anyway). Is it possible that you are getting what you need? Just not from the person you think you're trying to get it from?
