I had dinner with my son and daughter-in-law last night, and she brought up her own therapy. She survived a very mentally ill and abusive mother as well as a distant and largely absent father. Additionally, she deals with Hashimoto's and constant exhaustion that goes with that disease. She was saying how much she feels she's progressed in getting through her complicated relationships with her parents. She has found having a therapist to bounce off of and talk these things through has helped her find more personal balance and inner calm. She's seeing progress and is really proud of herself.
