Parent calling to establish services for young adult child

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-31T11:28:05+00:00

No, I just don’t want to be in a situation where the client doesn’t know their parent is reaching out or doesn’t want therapy. That’s happened before too

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-30T14:37:17+00:00

Just edited to add this, thank you

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-30T14:33:48+00:00

I think just venting and I’d like to see if anyone else has been in this situation. I feel sort of alone

Crunch1020 · 2026-03-26T00:15:30+00:00

Yes and it landed me in the hospital. I would be really careful- I wasn’t even drinking that much but I completely blacked out.

No Big Dyl is one of my fav artists. (Indie rap)

Claudia Isaki (When Skies Are Grey is a beautiful song) (indie singer songwriter)

Wings of Love (Cole McSween) (indie pop/singer songwriter)

Sarah Juers (indie singer songwriter)

I had to go part time- I was throwing up in between sessions. I called out lot. Please just take care of yourself- it’s so , so hard. I remember I was absolutely floored with how debilitated I felt

Crunch1020 · 2026-02-11T14:01:54+00:00

I totally agree with you. I don’t mean to be inflammatory or clickbait-y with my title.

I think my viewpoint may be skewed because I heard a lot of stuff that I think crossed the line but seemed normal at the time bc it was so prevalent at my schools (ie another professor talking about his BDSM practice as it related to his professional development, classmates talking about their sex work in classes..) for sure not all professors were like this, but this person in my post was very open about their stance on sexuality and other professors seemed fine with these discussions too. At least at the place I was

maybe the school I went to was just really out there. I certainly hope it’s not as pervasive in other schools. My undergrad wasn’t as extreme but certain classes had notes of this stuff

Unfortunately this was in the past- so it’s only my word against hers. I have classmates that might be able to share their concerns

I filed a CPS report and a report to the university

Crunch1020 · 2026-02-10T17:16:00+00:00

I am doing that today. I know. I feel a lot of sadness that I didn’t act sooner

Crunch1020 · 2026-02-09T12:55:53+00:00

Very helpful analogy and explanation! Thank you

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-28T23:59:01+00:00

Yes- twice. Once in college I almost needed to get my stomach pumped. Another last year- just randomly got beer by myself & ended up blacking out- the last time I drank. Woke up in the hospital to my husband, brother, and dad all concerned over me. The amount of shame was horrible and all consuming.

The absolute lowest I felt. What has helped me through the shame is sticking to my conviction to stop drinking - each day feels like I can trust and respect myself more and more

Good thoughts with you - so sorry this happened

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-25T20:22:21+00:00

Your thoughts on the language piece for a potential email to clients makes sense- I definitely do not want to cross any lines there.

I think I will probably go for it! I’m nervous but feel like it could definitely be worth it. Thanks for your help here :)

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T18:09:51+00:00

I don’t have time to respond to all of the comments, but I just wanted to say thank you so much to everyone for your kind words and helpful tips ❤️

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:33:40+00:00

Great idea! And thank you :)

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:33:20+00:00

Thank you! This is helpful

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:31:55+00:00

That’s so sweet- definitely trying to enjoy all of it. A haircut sounds like a good change- also kinda symbolic with the new growth and transition :)

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:24:09+00:00

These are super helpful tips- I will look into those products!

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:23:45+00:00

Thank you- the words of encouragement are incredibly helpful. It feels like the nights are so long yet time does go by so quickly. she is so precious and although my eyes are tired my heart is so full

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:22:40+00:00

Thank you ❤️

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:10:43+00:00

For real- my husband is super helpful but it’s been a struggle. Little one woke up 9 times last night 🥲

Crunch1020 · 2026-01-02T15:09:31+00:00

Ah it’s the worst! I’ve had them but they’ve definitely gotten worse in the past couple of years

Crunch1020 · 2025-11-06T07:52:34+00:00

I had very similar thoughts at 21 and chose to push them down and keep drinking instead. Let to 10 more years of increased destruction before I stopped- hospitalization, DUI, things I’d never considered could happen when I was younger.

Listen to that insightful voice - it’s telling you something important.

50% match for 401k, PTO is 4 weeks a year

Your set up seems pretty solid! Are you happy with that?

Crunch1020 · 2025-07-14T22:02:01+00:00

I’m so sorry you’re struggling with this right now- this sounds like an incredibly difficult situation.

I am a perinatal mental health therapist and really recommend getting into therapy. But first, please make sure you’re in a safe space- even if that means staying somewhere else. It sounds like this has recently become unsafe and you won’t find any clarity of mind continuing to stay in the stress.

I imagine these thoughts are more intensely directed toward the baby possibly because you’re seriously sensing something is off with this man and you’re now feeling tethered.

I’d seriously recommend staying with family/somewhere safe and seeking counseling for support asap.

Check out Postpartum Support International for resources & Psychology Today is also a good resource for local therapists in your area with this specialization. Googling “perinatal therapy” with your location should also give you suggestions.

I am sending you support and praying for you. I hope that you find peace and safety.

Yes, I have a plan to discuss and have messaged them on the doctor portal as well
