Yeah — I felt trapped. Which got worse since that day, but also some things have changed.
I do think one aspect of this process is that at least so far there is a lot of visible progress, i.e., the therapy is helping whether or not dad really wants to cooperate with it. It’s going to be a bit more of a problem when progress slows and his continuation with skilled therapy is dependent on his willingness to practice.
Oh dear, sometimes it is necessary to smash sth, but please take a pillow. It is easier to clean afterwards and cheaper. I speak from my own experience.
Here it is a good german song, maybe it will cheer you up a bit “Mark Forster: Sowieso”
Anger and frustration- unfortunately two human traits that feed off each other. Take care and breathe deep and count to 10 or sometimes it takes up to 100.
Uhoh…That doesn’t sound good…

I think my biggest issues at the moment relate to the refusal of various people to cooperate.

IIRC JP was, at this moment, frantic, desperate and out of all other options. Is that how you are feeling?
It was also the beginning of a victory. Hoping you end the day feeling you are winning the battle too.
