Now the direction this thread is going is starting to remind me of old school Ladder Theory.

Oh my, late to the party on this one.

A grown man citing the movie Enchanted?

A hot, divorced, grown-up gal accepting lots of money from her PARENTS to support her lifestyle, with an overly-inflated sense of self-worth and deep-seated daddy issues?

Trying to get pregnant so that her offspring could care for your son because 1) you're going to die and 2) she won't do it.

You admit that your relationship is transactional.

She's not naive. She knows that you are whipped and she's taking you for all she can get.

No, at bars.

Sometimes the stress at being a single father with a mother that doesn't care about her son is too much to bear, and the alcohol relieves the stress. I know it's not helpful but nobody has been able to help.

I hired the best PsyD person in the whole city, trained at autism and she couldn't even help. I do a better job than the people in mental hospitals (he's been there several times). The mental hospital has to call for advice because they can't get him to take pills or stuff. I'm like "that's your job". And if I confess any weakness to a therapist they call CPS on me because they think I'm "unstable". If I say I get drunk to the therapist nobody cares. That's the society we live in unfortunately. I can't seek help because when I do I get judged for it. Nowadays therapists have 911 ready to dial if they detect anything to indicate you aren't in total control, even though you're there for help.

Has a therapist actually called CPS on you? For real?

It's my niece's favorite movie and she has forced us to watch it like 20 times.

I can't be for sure who did it but the report from CPS was very much similar to what I told the therapist. I told the therapist my son was refusing to shower for 3 weeks (and he's strong as hell, there's no forcing he's almost stronger than me) and all of a sudden CPS showed up at the door saying they had a report of neglect. After that I decided therapy wasn't for me. I was seeking help and instead got punished for it. I got cleared of the charges, but it's scary as hell when they show up. A lot of them are paid minimum wage and have no life experience. They have too much power for their lack of knowledge. Ability to separate families just because someone anonymously phones in.

This is why I suspect domestic abusers, drug addicts, and other worse offenders don't seek treatment. In the course of seeking treatment what they say isn't confidential (it is unless somebody's in danger including the patient) so the therapist ends up calling the cops instead of helping. I also heard this is why people wishing to commit suicide don't seek help. They don't want to be arrested and put in mental hospitals they want help. But I'm going on a tangent.
