Ted,
You're right, my fiance's family are wonderful people. I'm definetely going to deal with the issue of caring what everyone else thinks with my new therapist. It's always been a major problem for me.
It's sad that things have to be that way (with parents, siblings, etc.) for many. Sounds like you have had your share of hard times. I believe it may end up being the same way with my mother and I. Eventually not speaking to one another. It causes so much stress listening to her put me down about my decisions in life, including ones I have made for my son. I just don't need that. When I talk to her on the phone, I always end up crying after we hang up. It really upsets me when I look back and think how they never tried to help me out emotionally as a child/teen. It's not like money/insurance was an issue. Now my mom thinks she has the right to tell me how to raise my son? I love my mom, but not most of the things she says. If only I could get her to quit bringing up the custody/ritalin issue. But that seems impossible. I know if it doesn't stop, there will be no communication between us! I just hope it doesn't come to that.
Thank you!!Jodie
