Ok i had to go to therapy as part of an agreement to see my daughter, maintain stability. But my problem is how much longer do i need to go? She's 18 now, I know it helps but honestly is it a forever thing? I feel like it's not really that necessary, mostly have to think of things to talk about. Guess I should bring it up to my therapist. But I'm curious.

Do you feel like you are able to maintain stability in your relationship with your daughter without therapy? I don't think a custodial agreement applies once the child turns 18 since they can then choose if they wish to have a relationship or not. If it was CPS who mandated treatment, the same thing applies since your daughter is legally an adult. This is assuming she does not have mental or physical disabilities that mean she is considered a dependent adult.

You could try reducing how often you go and see how you feel--like if you go weekly, try biweekly, if you already go biweekly, then monthly? Or you could take a break and see how you feel. But I think it's something good to talk to your therapist about, as Susannah suggested.

She's normal has some anxiety controlled without meds. She's great we have a solid relationship.

I’d discuss it with your therapist if they feel you benefit from therapy in one way or the other. There might be some things you can still work on or even use it as a place to talk about things
Thanks for this!
