I agree with AllyIsHopeful that you can't expect to change your actions right away. I have a difficult father, and am working on setting boundaries on what I allow him to say to me or ask me because he oversteps the line. That is hard enough because most of my lifetime has been following a pattern of being as agreeable with him as possible. It was a defense mechanism. Maybe you have developed a similar pattern with your father, so please don't be too hard on yourself. I am sure that your T will understand and want to do everything he can to help you-- use him as much as you can as a resource during this time. You CAN do this, but it will take time to get to where you want to be. What is going on with your father sounds very scary, and I'm sorry you're going through this.
