(((((Zen)))))) If your brother is an addictions counselor, he should stick to that and not get his fingers dirty in clinical psychology which requires a specific license. That is malpractice on his part.Want me to talk to him? I'd have to go off my lithium first....
Actually, I have the same problem wth my mom. If I get angry or disagree with her, then I "Need my medications checked". Like I need to be crazy to disagree with her It's this type of thing that make rehabilitating from any serious mental illness hard. Some folks just can't stop playing the mind games to make sure they have control. My mom can't get over that I don't just submit. At the same time, she brags to others about what a fighter I am.
Do I understand?
Huggs anyway. I feel your frustration.
