Hi Vhugs, welcome to PC. I'm glad that you have a therapist. Can you tell your T how you are feeling about him blaming your parents?

I read your profile and you mentioned that you have low self esteem. Our self esteem is built in our families. People who get bullied have low self worth. People bully to get a reaction and people with low self worth are the ones who give the reaction that they are looking for. People with a healthy self worth don't give the wanted reaction so they aren't bullied. I teach a bully program and once I work with the person and get their self worth up the bullying stops.

Anyway, parents are in charge of developing emotionally healthy children. It is their job. When a parent isn't as successful with this it is because they have their own emotional problems. They aren't doing it on purpose. Most parents are doing the best that they can.

I really, really hope that you return to this therapist and work through this issue with him. This is a really, really important part of therapy - learning how to work through disagreements with people. You really will learn a lot from this if you give it a try.

Please keep us posted on how you are doing.
