Wow! Your writing is tragically beautiful. It really touched me, and I wish I could give you a huge hug. I am SO, SO sorry this happened to you! I think that your therapist IS on your side, in fact I KNOW she is. Here's the problem: if she sticks up for you, which I will bet she would, but she knows that your parents have control over whether or not you see her. She knows if she pushes past their defenses, that they may remove you from therapy. This is a VERY tricky situation. Your therapist, I think - correct me if I'm wrong, was ensuring that SHE could be there for you because she KNOWs they won't. Now, I, on the other hand, would have and could have let them KNOW that the way they treat you is NOT O.K. It is NOT even close to O.K. I would have stood up for you because I could have. I honestly think your therapist wants to KEEP YOU as a patient. Because YOU are a KEEPER I am sickened that anyone would treat you in any other manner than what you deserve - to be LOVED and CHERISHED. You are loved and cherished by me, though I know I can't change your past or present. You WILL make it through this, you will! I am SO glad that you are a part of my online life I wouldn't have it any other way
