Yup! Especially with the holidays coming around, my biggest complaint/frustration is with my family of origin. They SO need therapy...and my parents, especially. They did see a therapist briefly after the death of my brother (10+ years ago). Their consensus was that therapy is pointless, but they didn't give it a chance either. So, I also have the added frustration of knowing their opinion of therapy and not even being able to share that I am seeing a therapist without facing recriminations from them.

I wish they could see their part in how screwed up our relationship is. I wish they could understand that I'm making changes in my life for ME, and if they can't deal with that, it isn't my fault and I shouldn't be made to feel that it is.

I'm always particularly bitter this time of year, so maybe that is clouding my thoughts right now too.
