Re: Vent thread

[(Anonymous)]

That's tough, nonny. The problem is that he doesn't need therapy if he has you to keep unloading all his issues on, and it's only natural that you're feeling the strain. I think you might need to push back a bit and be blunt - tell him that you sympathize and you love him but that you cannot be his only venting outlet and that you aren't equipped to help him... but that a therapist can. Then the tough part is that you'll have to keep shutting down the conversations where he tries to force you into that role again with a "Dad, we talked about this. I cannot take part in these conversations anymore. Please talk to a therapist."

And keep doing that each and every single time, for as long as it takes. He's likely to be angry and try to manipulate you with guilt into being his therapist. But you can't. Not just for yourself, but for him - because it's true, you're NOT equipped to help him, and the longer he uses you for a crutch, the longer he goes without the help he truly needs.
