oh, please no. that is just too weird for me.

are you glad your T did not approach you?


true story filled with teen angst.
shortly after i aged-out of foster care, i was in a grocery store trying to buy something to eat with the remaining $22 i had to my name. i went down the juice isle and almost walked smack into my ex-shrinks cart. she had all healthy, expensive food like fruits and vegetables in it and i had a box of Little Debbie ($0.99) snack cakes in my hand.
She said "R - how are you doing?". I looked right at her and said "Dr. M, how the hell do you think I would be doing when I just got kicked out of the system and have no place to live and no food and $22...(pause)...I'm doing great, really."

the shocked look on her face said it all.....she never saw me as a "person" until that moment...before that moment, i was just "another foster kid that she drugged."

i took my Little Debbies and grabbed a $1.00 thing of gatorade and wished her good luck in life. never saw her again.

im not even sure why she was in that grocery store....it was closer to her work and the hospital (inner city/downtown) than where i imagined she lived...in other words, it wasnt her neighborhood...

im not sure i meant to be "rude," but the question was pretty lame almost showing how out of tune she was with our lives....it was weird.
