At our last appointment my T and I were mostly talking about my relationship with my parents, and just a little about my relationship with my own family, esp. my husband. Anyway, toward the end of the session it came out that my mom blamed me for the divorce between her and my dad. He looked shocked, and said, "Why?!" Well, of course, that's not something you can answer in 5 minutes, so I told him it would take another appointment.
The problems is that if I tell it in context, it invoves the first "therapy" I had, which caused a lot of friction between my mom and my dad. My dad hated the psychiatrist, and my mom was sucked in by him. It was just all so incredibly bizarre. To me, looking back, the guy was just twisted. I'd never take my kids to him, or anyone like him, but my mom was an idiot about doctors. Whenever I brought up this therapy with my last T he acted like talking about it was off limits or taboo. I didn't tell him much, but now I'm afraid to talk about it because it really was bizarre. It was such a big part of what went wrong during that part of my life, I can't really leave it out.
What do I do?
