He went to one and within a few sessions, he called us to say we were the worst and he did not want to talk to us till he figured things out, how to undo all the harm we did to him, according to his Psychiatrist. His shrink recommended reading Niche.
That was 2 years and 2 months ago, no Thanksgiving, no Christmas or calls to us or his older brother who has children. I sent him this article.
Hmm...seems to me he had a VERY bad shrink or your son is giving you a false idea of what his shrink said (which is often the case). It’s true that therapy often brings up painful family stuff but a mature person must learn to accept that, shoulder on and learn to live and love his own family despite their faults. At 32, your son should be there. So sorry for you. I hope he will turn himself around and learn to love you and your spouse before it is too late. I still miss my dear father and my mother and wish I could tell them how much they meant to me.
