  • I’m sorry to hear that was your experience. With the right therapist that works for both parties involved usually you can make progress. For me I never made an ultimatum, but I knew from experience that therapy would provide us with a safe place to talk and listen and hopefully find common ground. Unfortunately with my sister ,talking one on one had not worked, so I felt like I only had one last option in the bag.


  • My sister and are are very similar, but also polar opposites in world view. But there is so much more to that story than just having different world views. I made the decision to disconnect after suggesting we try family therapy, and being rejected, ultimately it was very good for my mental health and I feel significantly better overall.

    I had been in a similar place with my mother, however after a year of family therapy with her, we have worked out our issues and become better people for it. So I don’t just write people off, I certainly have talked about my decisions with my own therapist, and those were the right decisions to make at the time.
