Today, I found out that my dad has a therapist. That's cool. What's cooler is that she's a very nice lady, and even said to ME that I could talk too if I wanted to. Boy, do I want to. But if I did, then she would probably need a therapist herself, and the last thing my dad needs is his therapist needing a therapist. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I found out my dad goes to therapy. Confused, I asked him what was going on. He said, "You" without any hesitation. I don't know if he's joking or not. If he is, I don't find that very funny. If he's not, I don't even know what I've done. FML
Today, my dad came home from work complaining about all the people he'd seen. He said he doesn't understand why so many people with problems have to confide in him. He's a psychologist. FML
Today, while I was explaining my troubles to my therapist, he asked me, "And don't you have someone you can tell all that?" FML
Today, on my way to see my therapist, my father told me to lie to her and tell her that I'm happy so he wouldn't have to drive me there anymore. FML
Today, I went to therapy. I started talking about my childhood and my life. By the time the session was over my therapist was crying. FML
Today, my father forced me to go to therapy, then dumped out everything I made there into our sink. Apparently, I'm "not a batshit crazy psycho who needed to go to therapy." FML
Today, I found out the reason why my therapist was so nice to me all of the time. Apparently, she is afraid that I'm going to stab her if she pisses me off. FML
Today, my therapist clapped for me when I told her I'd made a friend. FML
Today, I finally got to meet my boyfriend's parents; it turns out that his mum is my therapist. I've just spent an entire morning telling her how confused I am about my sexuality. FML
Today, my therapist told me she can’t see me by herself anymore because frankly I have so many problems, I need separate therapists, each with their own specialties, to work together on me as a team. I didn’t think it was that bad. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

My friend, every therapist needs a therapist. I wouldn't trust a therapist who wasn't in therapy. How can they help me through the worst bits of my life if no one is helping them through the worst bits of theirs? And frankly, it's very unlikely that you are the most effed up person that therapist treats. The real issue here, is that it's unethical for a therapist to treat you while also treating your father, unless this is a family therapy/group session type situation. I implore you to find your own therapist. It can take time to find the right person - you don't have to stick with the first therapist you meet, and you don't have to reveal the darkest parts of yourself on day one. Trust takes time. Good luck to you, friend.

My babymama is a therapist. It’s my understanding most of them are nuts anyway, so you wouldn’t be the reason your therapist needs a therapist.
