[QUOTE="klmno, post: 328766, member: 3699"] I told difficult child I had been thru therapy before when I was explaining to him that it doesn't mean "something is wrong with him" or that he can't live a normal, happy life, etc. I said we all need someone to talk to and a little advice sometimes. He knows I get depressed at times and stressed out/have anxiety issues. He knows I see a therapist on occasion because of this. He does NOT know all the family history that contributed to these things or how badly it effected me when I was younger- many years before I had him. My family wants difficult child to think there is just something major wrong with me and that has been the cause of his problems because that is the way they think (they have never seen reason for them to go to therapy). Obviously, I don't view it that way. [/QUOTE]
