Im not saying I havent tried, but its not the same. As for looking for a job in the law area, blood spatter, mortision, ect. my parents arent willing to pay for the schooling, they say its too morbid and that it only feeds me darkness. My new T on the other hand thinks it is a good idea. She recently told me of a reasearcher Anderson Raine who has studied criminal in maximum security prisons and law inforcement workers, they have the same profile. She said after talking to me the three times we have talked that she believes I have the same profile, so now Im happy to say she wants to work on getting me to do good with this darkness rather than bad. She gives me little assinments to do when I leave which are helpful. And my parents are supportive, which is nice for a change, thing is I think they are hoping she 'changes' me so that I want to work with kids or something horrid like that. I think they are going to be in for a nice surpise. Thanks for all the suggestions everyone. I think Im on my way to something good.
That's great news, iskm12!! So glad you found a new T who has a different perspective on the situation and can help you develop positive feelings about your interests and yourself, and explore so many worthwhile avenues for you to pursue in the future. As for your parents, give them time - perhaps as they see the positive effects this new direction your T is helping you take, they will begin to understand, accept, and be more supportive in the future. Wishing you the best for your future. Please let us know how things are going.
