I can understand being frustrated and angry with your mother, but please don't quit therapy. You are probably feeling bad from not having the Paxil and so are just ready to ditch everything! But please stick with your T. It's not T's fault your mother has no respect for you or your boundaries. T did not do this to you, your mother did. Grrrr. Please don't give up on yourself. I recommend asking Mom for the meds, if she won't give them to you, leave. How can you celebrate a holiday with a person who is out to damage you? Then go to a pharmacy, explain the situation, and see if you can get a couple of pills until you can contact your pdoc and get a new prescription.

I wonder why you aren't angry at your mom for this? After you get this crisis resolved and get your prescription back, perhaps tell T your reaction to this whole thing. I wonder if you are displacing your anger at your mother onto your T and your meds? Yes, it is hard having to be in therapy and on meds to help oneself, but you are doing that. You aren't just sitting back and doing nothing. So, good for you! And I'm sorry you have a mom who is trying to sabotage your efforts to take care of yourself. One thing my T helped me do in therapy was learn to set boundaries for the people in my life who walked all over me. It's a really good thing to work on. Take care.
