My mother and I are not getting along at all, and we have been considering going into family counseling for a while now. However, I am kind of apprehensive about it because I worry that as soon as I say anything about how I feel, she going to tell me thats stupid or irrational, because thats what she normally does. I am also worried that my younger brother will get put in a place where he has to choose sides between us, or that I won't be taken seriously because I am the child, not the parent, and because my mother has so far been blaming me for everything that has not been working in our relationtionship. I know I'm part of the problem, but I don't think its fair for her to say I'm the entire problem. I was wondering if anyone who had experience with family counseling would know how any of these issues might be handled? Also, we would be doing a brief model of family counseling, has anyone experienced any success with this?
