I wanna go to the therapist!!!!?

I wanna go but my mom says that she doesn't have time. All I'm asking for is to get information from the doctor to get to a therapist but my mom says she doesn't have time. The person who will drop me off and pick me up is my dad. My mom will just take me to the frickin doctor to get some info!!! Lol I just feel like I need some starting help. I'm deciding not to state my problems here. Is there any way to calmly ask her when she does have time? because apparently, she had time to take us to the doctors today, but i forgot about telling them while they were shoving that mist thing up my nose! i remembered when we got to the car. i told my mom about it but she said it was too late to go back. i need help plz!!! Thanks for the help! Also, whenever I bring up the therapist subject with her, she gets all mad at me.

    I am thinking your mother has a negative view about therapy and she is subconsciously laying this on you. Given she gets mad each time you mention wanting to see a therapist, this indicates there is a reason for her resistance. You could ask her directly if she has a problem with therapy and see what she says in response. Perhaps she is fearful of what you might say about her and her parenting skills/your home life/your family or perhaps she (or someone she knows) has had a negative experience with a therapist. Regardless, this is obviously important to you and she needs to understand this as your mother. If necessary, go to your Dad and/or your doctor (independently of your mother) and get a referral. Additionally, speak with your teachers and/or school counselor and ask their advice.
