Reflection

I have gotten some amazing responses to my advice post. I am particularly grateful to one person, and I think I am going to go to therapy with my dad. I can't face him in any unsupervised/unmediated settings. Maybe we'll just go to therapy once every few weeks and that will be our "hang out." I know it's unrealistic. But I feel safe with my therapist. She's good ... But even when she criticizes me, even if I legitimately think she's wrong, I always trust that what she is saying is not meant to hurt me (and it's never a contest to see who's right), it's meant to help me!! I can honestly say that I can FEEL that. It makes all of the difference in the world.

I don't know.... I don't want to be in the same elevator as him or wait with him in the waiting room. He has no understanding, no boundaries. He doesn't understand....
