I don't think your situation is dire. at least I hope it's not but there is cause for concern bc your mother seems predisposed to not support any form of treatment for anxiety or mental illness. why isn't your dad able to advocate on your behalf?

My situation is not that bad. She is loving, just opinionated. My father isn't the strong one in the relationship. He works a lot, but is submissive. He does advocate for me, but in general he just listens to her. Since school has let out my options have been pretty limited. How do I approach this? I normally see the school counselor, but she recommended me to faith based treatment. This was the only time I could talk rationally about this with my mother. I am not in contact with this counselor right now, and won't be for awhile.
The school had me on
watch because I couldn't function In the school environment for awhile. I had them contact my dad. It was simply because I was so anxious and couldn't manage the stress, pressure, or anxiety. Maybe I should have had them contact my mom? I was too scared because I thought she would freak out on me.
That did scare me about the home removal :/
