(((( Squiggle ))))

I know how hard it is, to feel as though you are putting your own needs in front of your daughter's needs....But I am hoping that with the feedback you are getting, that you realize that it's not just black and white.

I went through something similar with my niece. She is going to school to become a psychologist...and she has a lot of growing up to do. She's an emotional mess at the moment, and she asked if she could get the name of my T so she could make an appt.

I told her NO. She was quite upset about that, but I'm sorry. I did not feel comfortable at all with her becoming one of my T's clients. I'm sure there's a lot there for me. So, she decided not to see a T at all....for the moment.

Part of me felt guilty about that....but I thought to myself, had I not been going to T, what would she have done? My T is not the only one around and she - as an adult - needs to take some ownership of this and find what she needs without it being a situation that would add stress to my life.
