Mercy_x_Me answered Wednesday June 8 2005, 9:11 pm: As moms can be persistent, lets just say the situation turns out as always -- the mother WINS. So if your mom absolutely forces you to go, see it to your opportunity. I used to DESPISE this lady my mom made me go to and I hated her for it. Now, I go to a new therapist whos like practically a good friend, lets me curse out whoever and whatever I want and just stays patient. On the other hand, I cant call my mom things to her face or call anyone names around her. Don't let your mom know you don't want to go. Act like you confide in this person more than her it will piss her off and make you stop going. Tell her there so much more fun to talk to than her. Then you can stop going.

You havn't given them a chance. Sure, you went in the past, but you walked in with a bad thought on it. You need to just go in and try talking to them, its definetly not going to kill you to at least try letting your feelings out to somebody. I'm going to tell you that I never really got along with my mom, and she never listened to what I had to say. So, she'd come in and talk with me and my shrink, and she'd have to listen. You have no reason to hate them, "I just hate them", isn't a reason. Since your mom is making you go, let something good come out of it by just giving them a chance.

That way u dont have to do anything. Or tell ur mom that you really dont want to do this and that you'll just talk to her about it! Hope i helped!
