I know my t is great at what she does and she has been of great help to me in my recovery but sometimes she says things that really are judgemental and make me hate my family. I know they are not perfect but they are my family and they are all i have. I know the right thing to do would be to say it to her but I find myself holding back because she is so great in other ways.


That sort of comment would piss me off frankly.
Also, I don't think it's odd for your sister to ring your mother every day, plenty of people have strong relationships with their parents and call them every day/every other day. What's wrong with that?
Obviously I don't know the full context about your situation but on the surface, it doesn't sound strange to me.

Does your therapist only make judgmental comments about what your family does or is it also about what you do?
