Thank you dps. The thing that could have not been prevented was my dad's cancer. I have run into another problem now. My dad wants to know why i would talk to a therapist instead of him when he is licensed as well. I really don't have the answer for this other than that i don't feel like sharing everything i am feeling with my parents, i feel it would be a bit awkward. My dad keeps asking though why i will not tell him everythin that is wrong when he loves me and cares for me and why i would rather tell a stranger, and leave him in the dark. I don't know how to explain to him that it just isn't something i feel like sharing with my parents.
