Aibu to stop daughter’s therapy

[Blobbydobby]

So dd has been going to therapy since last year , she now seems stable but her mental illness is classed as severe . Dd has had a countless amount of attempts in her life and I feel I have failed her as a parent . Now she’s doing okay and I can’t afford her therapy , most charities will not take her on as she’s had therapy and she’s been on the NHS waiting list since she was in camhs , she’s now an adult aibu to stop paying for her therapy ?she’s paid for a few sessions here and there but it seems unfair to make her pay as it’s not her fault she’s gone through trauma .

So aibu to suggest she stops therapy as she’s doing okay ?

It’s clear from your posts that it’s tough. Do what you can to support your daughter though.
I know someone with severe untreated MH problems. She is heading into her forties and is a total nightmare. She has had her children removed and the gp’s are having to parent them in their 70’s.

They massively regret not spotting what was going on sooner and taking action when she was younger.
You are doing really well by her, and later in life will hopefully avoid having to care for her into adulthood.

I don’t have practical solutions to the financial problems, but just wanted to say that what you have been doing has clearly been the right thing, and she’ll need it for a while longer.

Don’t stop ahead of time... things could be so much worse.

Dbt is also not offered on the nhs everywhere. Its not here for example

My local team is also very very unlikely to give more than 12 sessions and the average is more around 6.

Its unlikely to be a similar replacement for long term therapy she is currently having

With the trauma she’s had , a few therapists have said trauma based therapy is what she’d benefit from rather than DBT which she’s previously had
