u/Dauntlesse

I finally convinced my mom to go to therapy after her and my dad have been married for over 20 years and have been on and off fighting due to my dad‘s insecurity and hypervigilance caused by childhood physical abuse and neglect as a child. He’s a good dad, but he always accuses of my mom of cheating on him, she has ADHD so sometimes her vision will wander and she’ll get a blank stare because of her inattentiveness.

I recently convinced her to go to therapy and she’s currently working on it with her therapist, but she’s just concerned she’ll never be able to convince my dad to go into therapy with her and that if she does, he’ll look at it as a place to blame her and for everything that she’s done instead of witnessing his faults. Has there been any hope in situations like this?

Knitting the Salty Days Sweater by Veronika Lindberg!

Been knitting this since end of February, I wouldn't say I'm the most advanced knitter, but this project itself has made me learn cables, lace, Italian bind off, twisted rib, and more. I feel stronger because of it! Love that it has a video tutorial but I'm super glad I'll be knitting a smaller project after this, phew!!!! Sleeve land here we come!

Using Phoenix Fiber Mill Indiecita DK in white held together with Goodyarns Bernie Alpaca mohair that has a polyimide core. Knitting with smaller needles and a smaller size to anticipate growth. Fits me well will probably fit better after blocking! :)

Knitting a sweater is a feat in itself, no wonder there's a whole curse behind it. It's made me respect sweater knitters.

Is there any hope for my parents if my dad hates mental health/therapy?
