Idk my mom says she is scared about letting me see a therapist. Since I don't live with her, she is afraid that the therapist will come after her if I tell them I live with my boyfriend.

What do you think?

Why would they come after her for living with your boyfriend?

As long as there's no harm being done to yourself or others, there's not much a therapist is allowed to say to breach confidentiality.
