My parents used me as a child for their free therapy, and I also was their dumping ground for their problems. Now I’m older, I want to deliver them the bill they owe for their sessions, especially since therapy has become my career path. My parents still try to approach me and want therapy sessions outside my work hours. The reason I have my own therapist and fell down this career path was because of the actions of my own parental figures.
I want to get the numbers as accurate as I can. Carry the one, multiplied by approximately 235 times they have tried to do this, times the minutes I have spent fixing their problems, multiplied by my hourly rate of $38.96, plus the interest over the years. I have checked my math on this four times now and this should be the figure they owe me. $17,964.59.
This isn’t petty to charge my parents. It’s the way the business world works and they have evaded this fee for over 37 years now. It’s time for them to own up to the childhood I missed out on carrying their problems on my own shoulders.
