All the counter transference, transference, the expense, it seems like my life was simpler before therapy. I was happy being just a mom, taking care of my family. Now going to therapy has made me do more in my life that just seems to add more problems than before. Maybe I should just forget going to college, forget the future career, and forget therapy. Just make the most out of what I have, which isn't too bad anyway.
Being in therapy isn't going to take away from what happened to me as a child, but it seems to take me away from what should be my focus, my children. They are only young once, they are now teens and they need me. So reliving the past in therapy may help me in the future, but taking me away from my kids in the here and now is not right either. Life was so much simpler when I was a stay at home mom. At least I was good at something.
Sure I have problems, but doesn't everyone anyway? Maybe I am just making more problems for myself because of therapy. Because now I have to deal with an unethical therapist, I have to deal with my memory problems that has made my grades drop dramatically. My house is a mess, my kids need me "there" with them. Maybe I am asking for too much in my life. Maybe I need to quit therapy and just concentrate on the good things I do have in my life. Anyone else ever feel this way?
