That's brutal when non-addict parents make decisions for their addict children. My nutcase mother insists she's an alcoholic and goes to AA meetings even though she's barely touched alcohol her entire life. When I confronted her about it she said that her thinking is alcoholic and if she did drink she'd be an alcoholic. Yeeeeaaaahhh...
A few years back she tried to get power over me (with the aid of my girlfriend at the time) by having me sign over legal guardianship to her - basically declaring myself legally incompetent to make my own decisions. I didn't let that happen. It's funny now (not at the time) but she "found" a program for me in Tennessee run by fundie Christian kooks. It was an eight month minimum commitment and all the guys worked at a sawmill and all the gals worked at a thrift store for indentured wages six days a week. Needless to say, there was no therapy or psychiatric care, but you did have to go to church Sundays and Wednesday! All it did was give me thinking about get-rich-quick ideas I could run with basically free druggie slave labor.
I don't know if you get any one-on-one time with the therapist, but you need to share that you're not getting what you need out of this therapy and ask for help finding people who can help you.
I finish group therapy on Thursday, I plan on seeking one on one therapy right after.
Why is that nothing can help me? I feel like I'm talking to myself. Nothing works to change my mood but meth
