This is something I’ve been thinking. I strongly believe in getting mental health care when you need it. Absolutely.
But if Harry and Meghan were my....introduction of sorts to the benefits of it, I’m not sure I’d walk away thinking how helpful it is. They come across to me as angry, vengeful, unable to take responsibility for their role in things (and they’re not blameless in this mess), and lacking in compassion and kindness to their own family. Publicly dragging your family through the mud repeatedly is not good either IMO. This is what you get out of mental health help? I know this isn’t what is supposed to be my takeaway- but that’s what I’m getting. I’m shaking my head on this.
Yes- I read an article yesterday that HM is deeply hurt by what Harry’s said lately. While I think you have to take those kinds of articles with a grain of salt generally....I don’t doubt she’s hurt. Bad enough he and Meghan’s first interview was in the last weeks of Philip’s life, but the hammering keeps on shortly after his death. It’s unbelievable.
I’m not paying to watch this either. It is a disgrace IMO.
I feel the same way, Erin. Of course most of us don’t have a forum to make our feelings public, but I venture to guess that most people who go into therapy do it for themselves, NOT to hurt their family (even if their family has hurt them). Harry, for whatever reason, is directing his misplaced anger and pain at his father and family, who so clearly love him. It’s uncomfortable to even read about - and I don’t imagine that anyone considering therapy would want to mete out such “punishment” even directly to their family.
I read such articles, too...and clearly Charles is suffering also. I believe these sources because they are clearly trying to get a message out to Harry, hoping that he will see how much damage he’s doing, how much pain he’s causing. The BRF can’t speak, so these sources will.
