Useless Therapy?

Last night was tough. I woke up with a nightmare, but when I woke up it was different than other times. My dad was at the edge of my bed, upset with me and the "useless therapy sessions". I apologized, but that's not what he wanted to hear. He doesn't understand that I want to get better too. I'm uncomfortable wearing a shield over my eye and I hate not being able to drive. I'm trying to get better, I really am! As he walked out my bedroom door last night, I got something off my chest I've been wanting to say to him for a long time. I looked him straight in the eyes and said, You're not in such great shape either, and it was so nice to finally get those words out of my mouth.

Anna, what you said last night really made me think about myself and how I’ve dealt with you and Jack lately. I understand what you’re saying but your mother and I are paying a lot of money for the therapy sessions with Frances, and you haven’t made any big improvements. You still don’t want to drive and I don’t feel that paying for these sessions is a good use of our money. Please consider this.
