Q: Bad Therapist?

I went to my therapist today. I'm having emotional problems because my 17 year old sister is pregnant and wants an abortion. Our house is a war-zone and i'm being treated like trash off the street (like i'm the one that sleeps around). The therapist pretty much told me that if someone isn't with me, doesn't mean they're against me either.

I am also no longer on state-insurance. Which means I have co-pays now (i know, get used to it). I paid a freakin' $30 for, "oh, don't take it so personally. It's your sister's choice, back off. It's not your business and it doesn't affect you." (!!!!!!!!!) I have been getting that for free from the people I talk to on the internet and a lot of the people I talk to for free irl! Should I quit going to her? I don't think there's anything left for us to talk about.

Also, when I talk about feeling like I want to commit suicide. I get the feeling that she doesn't take me seriously. Like she just kind of seems like, "yeah right, you wouldn't do it." nobody takes me seriously. My mom ran my sister to the psych ward at the local hospital for a harmless note. (i could tell it wasn't serious, it just didn't seem like it. It was more like a crime of passion). But when I did that (my mom doesn't remember any of my notes, how sad is that?) she just shrugged it off. When i'm feeling like that now-a-days, she just says stuff like, "oh your life isn't that bad!" or "grow up! Quit being such a baby!" I don't want to kill myself to prove them wrong, but then again, I don't want them to think that just because i'm semi-sane now, doesn't mean I won't go through with it when i'm not thinking straight.
