I know. I just don't fully believe it.

It sure feels like it. All I ever was is a genius freak who did schoolwork, now I can barely get through an exam without crying about the torture.

Anyway it seems to be completely independent from the law school and the bar examiners. What's the connection? Are the school, the bar, and the doctors in cahoots in a scheme to provide low-paid mental health workers with sex slaves? If so, why?
I'm like your son, I get really upset if everything doesn't fit into a nice scheme.

There's a list of reasons why an English court will will take jurisdiction over a case where they otherwise wouldn't. It's if the defendant will be exposed to torture, other serious human rights abuses (rape, racism, denial of process), or degrading treatment in the other forum. But I was exposed to every single one of those things (except racism) in England and nobody did anything, so why do the courts care in that circumstance but not in mine?!
