On the 3rd, just after I pick up my brother and his girlfriend from the airport, we'll be heading to my session together.

Both my brother and I have major emotional issues due to my dad. I managed to get out on my own a long time ago but carried so much of the emotional damage with me.

My brother is just getting out now and he's 34. I want my brother to understand me and the issues I am working on. Some background on this is my dad swears ADD does not exist and refuses to see that I am getting better through the process of meds and therapy.

He will never ever admit he has any issues or caused us any issues. He was and is still emotionally abusive and used to be physically abusive.

Anyway, this is the only session my brother will be able to come to as we live in two different states. So there is a lot of pressure on this next session.

My brother and I were not close as kids. Because my family favored my brother I kind of just did my own thing and either ignored him or fought with him. I never felt like I fit in with my immediate family and it was confirmed by them often that I was the 'black sheep'.

My brother and I are a lot closer now especially since my brother is now being kicked to the curb like I was years ago. His eyes are opening and he's excited to come to my session.

I don't know where to begin. I'm just nervous I guess. I love my brother so much and want this to go right...

I am also really hoping that the plane isn't delayed. My therapist is waiting for us later than he normally would because this is a special session. I am so touched that he was willing to do this for me. He's going out of town the next morning so I really appreciate him doing this for me.

Have any of you taken a family member to your session? Any advice so I can stop feeling nauseated?
