PLEASE answer!!?!


Question:

PLEASE answer!!?

i recently decided to try going to see a therapist or a counsellor. im still on the list at my old counsellors so it shouldnt be a problem. the thing is, my dad hates me being different, he just wont accept anything that stops me being normal. he always used to tell me he was going to try and get me out of counselling. but im really struggling to cope. but i know dad will just say its my freinds or the music i listen to or the medication im on. and my mum doesnt really have a voice of her own, she just agrees with everything my dad says, and she tells him everything to. how the hell i am supposed to ask?

Answers:

I don't know what you are going to a counselor for but I will tell you this. Usually, if you dress different and act different than your parents, they see you as strange and abnormal. I don't know your age, so its difficult to explain but at some point, both the "different" child AND the parents grow up and accept each other. If you are a creative person or just establishing your own identity apart from your parents, just be a success and your parents will be quicker to see you as normal again and hopefully that will lessen the strain on your relationship with them. If you are unable to talk to a friend or your parents in any way that is helpful then you are doing the right thing in seeking a counselor. Just don't get caught up in the whole, "I'm a victim and need counseling forever" thing. It is meant to be temporary to help you grow stronger so use it for that and not as a crutch. Everyone is different in their own way.Normal is impossible to truly define anyway.
Best of luck to you.
