Hi Charlotte,
Thanks for your message. I have talked extensivey with Georgina (my therapist) about my probs with my dad and she agrees that it is a big problem! We've tried to set up family meetings but he just won't have it. They came to the family group meeting when I was in treatment but he walked out after the first half and refused to go back in for the second.
He thinks that therapy is "namby pamby bullshit" and unnecessary and that people should just pull themselves together. I said to him that I hoped he would never need it then and he said that he would never "be so stupid as to need something so pointless because it's a cop out".
He's not a very reasonable man as you can see! Whatever he says is law in his eyes and anyone that dares to disagree is im trouble. I am hesitant to try and ask for a family meeting again as I dread to think what might happen if anyone tried to show him the contribution he has made to my problems.
Emma.
