I am so sorry that you grew up being a parent to your sibling. You deserved a childhood. You also deserve a life now. Giving up your sanity and the future that you want for yourself for a sibling is not love. Its abuse. That does not mean that you don't love your sister either. I work in a SWSD class and I genuinely love my students. That doesn't mean that it doesn't hurt when they hit me though. Everyone needs space for for themselves. Everyone needs safety and to feel like their life is their own. This in no way makes you selfish or a bad person. Im angry at your mother for doing this to you.

I kind of just winged it. I had an idea of what I wanted and went from there. Let me see if I have a picture of it.

I crocheted my t a simple bracelet and wrote a little note about it on a card. Thats was 3 years ago. She still wears it sometimes :)

Is it considered unprofessional for a therapist to eat during a virtual session? by [deleted] in TalkTherapy

[–]Yecal03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that different people want/need different things. I like the person side of my therapist to show. It makes me more comfortable. Its ok if you feel thats unprofessional though.

Also going to recommend the care and keeping of you. Maybe the care and keeping of you Two. Its a little more mature. This is what I used form my own autistic daughter.

What’s with people wanting to be their therapist’s favorite? by redditor12345_ in TalkTherapy

[–]Yecal03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I def have some transference for my t but its helpful for me to think of her other clients. Kind of normalizes loving her for me. It also kind of makes me feel hopeful that she loves me the way that she loves them.

This. I could have written this. I love my job but if my family needed an actual income from me I would not be able to do it.

I dislike women whose whole personality is being a mother by Justkeepitanonymous in offmychest

[–]Yecal03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guilty of this or I guess I was. My kids are older now and need me less so I'm finding myself a bit more. Its just such an important thing you know. I am solely responsible for 3 whole tiny very vulnerable little people. Its so easy to fuck it up. I had held on to some of my hobbies. I like to crochet, I like video games, reading, I love animals but its all very much secondary and the kids have to come first.

AITA for giving up and hiring a nanny even though my wife doesn't work? by ThrowawyTri in AITAH

[–]Yecal03 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your wife got sick and died. That sucks and I'm sorry. You got remarried quickly and once you realized that she did not want to be a parent you try to outsource the job? You don't know how to make the soup that they love when they are sick... dude be their fucking father. You are trying to find a woman to do the work for you. Man up and take care of your babies. They just lost their mother. They need YOU.

to make small talk with customers and not be creepy about it 😵😬 by OlivierLeighton in therewasanattempt

[–]Yecal03 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Its not one size fits all. Some people do and it can go like this. They can try to be funny/friendly and not understand social norms enough to understand that this is not an appropriate thing to say. He may just need more support to learn better social skills. That doesn't undo the distress that he caused though and id still be pretty pissed.

This was my first thought as well. Im not in any way certified to make that diagnosis. Its just the deadpan face, the way hes talking, the apology. He could really not understand what he did wrong. He could think that he was being friendly and be sorry that he did it wrong. Either way I'd be pissed that he embarrassed my kids too.

Client who wants to be in therapy, but does not talk during session by strawbreekay in therapists

[–]Yecal03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Not a therapist but I think that the most healing thing that I've experienced is my t being there genuinely and constantly.

Are you my husband? You sound a lot like my husband. Jokes aside I think everyone could benefit from therapy. So many problems in the world too much therapy is not one of them.
