My mom wants me to go to therapy what should I do?

I am really tried of my family. My parents are divorced and I have trouble at my dads house because of his drinking issues but now my mom want me to talk to a therapist about this and I know it not healthy to keep it in but that is what I have did for my whole life and now everyone is starting to care about it and I just want to keep it to myself because I think everyone will judge me, put it of ,or say oh mine is so much worse. I have also done therapy before but it did nothing it just made me avoid my parents. I am so tired of this, what should I do?

dont let them force you to do anything you dont want to do. i honestly think therapy is invasive and not helpful at all for myself personally. thats what true friends are for or physician heal thyself you know. but if you think baring your soul to a complete stranger is going to help your feelings then go ahead and go to it. that can be helpful too i guess in some cases. as far as people judging you, if they judge you and that pushes them away then theyre not good friends and good riddance.
