So I'm in therapy for some form of social anxiety and it's been preventing me from getting a job, and even if I were to get one any and all interaction with people will get me fired, it's so bad that my therapist has explicitly told me "if you don't feel ready I'd refrain, because if you do before you're ready it'll do more harm than good". My dad just wants me to stop therapy and "listen to him because she's brainwashing me", going as far to take away the insurance so I can only afford to go every other week instead of weekly appointments, the only way I convinced him to "allow" it in the first place was by telling him "the worst that can happen is you get proven right". I am making some good progress, I feel like I'm getting better with each session, but every time I set a boundary he breaks it saying "you need this because if I give you what you want you'll never learn" he will force me to be around people I'm not comfortable with give people my personal information and tell them how to find me when I have asked all of these people politely for space. I understand that this in't an ideal position, I hate it and expressing that I hate it, but whenever I'm happy he'll just say I'm not feeling guilty enough because I'm not staying miserable, and I can't even have an animal of some kind for any extra comfort because, as he says, "I'm not paying for veterinary care, if it gets too sick I'll just take it out back and shoot it, it's cheaper" he's fucked up and for some reason he wants me to be just like him, I don't want to be that miserable, I don't want to be a cheater like how he left me and my mom, I just want to get better and for some reason this jackass feels the need to sabotage everything that's making me happy and I'm sick of it.
