A while ago, I asked on here if should ask my parents for therapy, and guess what? i did. now, this should be a 'hooray' moment, but it doesn't feel like it. my mom is giving me mixed signals. she seemed fine with it at the beginning, but now she's getting a bit aggressive. not physically though. she's telling me that I need to actually try in things and that her life is much harder than mine and she's fine. she also said that if I don't try hard enough, she'll send me to my dad's. my dad left us a while ago (he was abusive) and I hadn't seen him since. she had the audacity to say that its her fault for not disciplining me enough and that's why I'm like this. its so annoying because when I finally get the courage to ask for help, she makes me regret my decision. sometimes I wonder if I should've never asked for help. ugh. this is making everything worse than what it was before. I don't blame the people who encouraged me to ask for help, nor do I blame her. I blame myself. its probably my fault either way. sorry that this is a little choppy, I really don't care about grammar. I just want to get this off my chest. if she ever finds out, she would be sooo pissed. and hopefully this doesn't discourage anyone from asking for help, this is just my situation.

Taking a Risk :)

its not your fault honestly
we can't help being like this.
people like us don't wish for any of this to happen but yet it still happens
thats why its important to do the things that we believe can help.
you did the right thing to try to go to therapy
honestly i think your mom should be going too based on her reaction
i hope everything works out well, but if you feel you need to don't hesitate to keep writing on the site
