Yes!!
Jess, I'm a stay home mom right now but when I go back to work I will be doing therapy (I'm an MSW). My viewpoint on children in therapy is that a person can't get very far without the parent's involvement. Parents set the emotional tone for the household. They are the folks in charge and they are the people who teach their children about emotional health. You aren't emotionally healthy because of what your parents are doing or not doing. Your therapist needs to work with your parents to get you healthier. I'll bet it would be scary but whenever something is scary you have to push forward to overcome it (with a good plan of course!).
