Counseling is in 4 days

And I don’t know what to do because my mom chastised me last time based on what she overheard during my counseling session. Most of them turned out to be misunderstandings though.

I don’t know what to do now because I now feel terribly unsafe to go to my next counseling session. I also paid for my last counseling session because I talked bad about her and how I felt about her. So I don’t really know what to do.

Would wearing earphones help to keep some of what I say away from her? My apartment is small so it really sucks because I can’t seem to hide what I say.

How did your mother overhear your conversation with your counselor? Your counseling sessions should be private between just you and your counselor.

I’m guessing your first appt was through a device and not in person? Maybe you could go outside, or if possible go to a park or other location where you can find some privacy if thats the case? IDK. Assuming of course the device your using is mobile and can connect from a distance from home.

I do remote counseling, so I do it in my room. The walls are super thin.

I wish I can do that. It’s frustrating because my situation is almost unsolveable. This frustrated several people in my support group because I kept telling them that there is no way out. My mom basically never lets me out unless absolutely necessary.

Are you over 18? If so, your mother can’t keep you inside against your will, especially if the reason you are going outside is to be able to have a private conversation with your counselor.

I think I understand where you are coming from. You have decreased mobility and are highly dependent on your parents from what I remember. If you were in the US I would encourage you to seek financial aid for your disabilities and distance yourself from your parents a bit, who seem to be too controlling of you.

But with the cultural and societal differences and my limited knowledge of what aid you can receive to become more independent, I don’t know if its wise to advise you to rebel against your mom. So, I can’t really offer you any real solutions. Sorry.

I can ask my mom to take me out, but I feel guilty for doing so. I don’t want to burden my mom.

So, basically the situation is 50/50 between my mom and I.

My mom says I should be patient until i learn how to drive. I’m kind of impatient, not going to lie. I can’t take the taxi because of my disability so it’s really an unsolveable situation :woman_facepalming:

That’s ok. I can’t come up with a good solution too. I’m just going to study really hard for my graduate school exam and move out of the home to study on my own. My mom is ok with this plan too so I just gotta be patient. It kind of confuses me why she wouldn’t let me take a taxi to short distances but she says safety issues, which I understand.

In Belgium, universities have special housing and support for people with physical disabilities.

Might be worth checking if there is a uni in your area which offers this kind of support.

That’s what I am planning to do. I’m going to work with the disability office in the campus.

I still have my graduate exam though, I still have to pass them.
