Kt, this is so great that you brought it up and you all discussed it! Well done!!!

You know, the quote that I have up there ^, what she said doesn't sit well with me. The inner brat! It is my opinion that she needs to understand her ED clients a little better! It seems that she is the one who starts the power struggle. Her job is to support and help the client not to take over for them. I think that you could teach her a lot you know............
