I'm not in therapy. I have been but we really didn't have much to talk about besides growing up with an alcoholic dad. "Much!" Yeah... Just that. That session was when I broke down sobbing to my T. Now that I'm not seeing her, I brought up working on being an adult child of an alcoholic- suggested going to AA meatings. Supposedly there are ACA meetings too but not as many. I feel weird about talking with other alcoholics about how my alcoholic dad treated us. Just doesn't click in my mind, you know? Would I want to hear what they had to say? Would it seem like excuses for my dad's behavior?

Anyway, I don't have a T to talk with about this. It seems like they - pdoc mainly- think AA is a better place to talk about things than a therapist.
