I talked briefly online (once or twice) with a female therapist who was pretty unsympathetic to my concerns. I wanted a male, maybe because of some things that had happened in my past. I think I needed to know and believe that there were gentle and caring men out there. There were also some really sensitive things that I wanted to discuss that were extremely awkward to be discussing with a male, but I seemed to want the challenge of that.

Of course I fell in love with him and there has been the ensuing drama of that...but I honestly feel in the end that having that happen ended up being the most healing thing of all. I wouldn't change a thing.
