I am sorry you had to deal with this situation, @JupiterBraytech. Very difficult. But let me strongly recommend that you not burn anything down. That would be bad and it would not solve the issues with your dad. Tons of legal consequences. Either way, when things are calmer, you are probably going to need to sit down and calmly discuss expectations around your parents' access to your therapist. Not sure where you live and what specific laws apply there, vis a vis your age and consent. You should definitely find out what those are, if you do not already know. If the law says your folks have no access without you signing a release, then problem solved. Don't sign a release. If, on the other hand, the law suggests they do have some level of access to your therapist, then you guys are going to have to negotiate that one out. What exactly is your dad looking for? Would you be comfortable with your therapist giving him a broad, general overview, without divulging details? Or, do you just want him to have zero information at all? You should think about all this before you meet.

Once you've decided what your position is, sit down and tell them. If you have the law behind you, it really doesn't matter what they want. Though, again, they are your parents and you might want to sort of keep them in the loop. 'Cuz they're your parents. These are all just my random thoughts. I'm sure you'll do the right thing. Best of luck to you!!
