Nah, the fucked up thing about therapists is they try and make you think your parents are your enemy 99% of the time and really they should be telling you that your parents have almost no effect on the rest of your life. If they can get you to keep focusing on your parents they can keep making money.

A quick definition of tax-straddle rule:
The tax-straddle rule is a law that prevents people from avoiding paying taxes on their income or converting short-term gains into long-term gains by disallowing the early deduction of a loss on one part of a straddle position while keeping the other part. A straddle position is when an investor holds contracts to buy and sell the same security or commodity, hoping to defer gains and use losses to offset other taxable income. This rule aims to ensure that people pay their fair share of taxes and cannot manipulate the system to their advantage.
A more thorough explanation:
The tax-straddle rule is a regulation that prevents individuals from deferring tax on income or converting ordinary income or short-term capital gain into long-term capital gain. This is done by disallowing the premature deduction of a loss on the sale or disposition of one leg of a straddle position while retaining the other, offsetting leg or position.
For example, if an investor holds contracts to buy and sell the same security or commodity, they may ensure a loss on one of the contracts to defer gains and use losses to offset other taxable income. However, the tax-straddle rule prevents them from prematurely deducting the loss on the sold contract while retaining the bought contract.
The tax-straddle rule has been greatly restricted by the requirement that gains and losses on commodities transactions must be reported based on their value at year-end.
