Thank you, Annie. I have just ahd an un-naturaly difficult time being heard. I was molested back in 1957, raped by a counselor in 1973 trying to find out why I could not have friends, and was never allowed to think I could ever carry that type of issue back into a counselors office safetly until 1998. And as a minority here, I have had to endure more than my share of ridicule and being grouped in with the offenders group, while I see the other gender bieng handled gently with sympathy and respect. See my last posting about 3 weeks ago.
Needless to say discrimination is more than a little concern with me. And when I am confronted with something that can not be easily explained, well let's just say I am ready to seek legal counsel. I have had the diagnosis Obsessive Compulsive PERSONALITY D/O added to my eval sheet this week.
Thank you very much for your commentary, Annie. It appears you have a little wisdom in this area, because I had to have a special meeting with my therapist today, a Saturday along with my wife. She stated exactly what you just wrote, and I am to join a support group May 3. I think I should start simply asking," Is thsi normal." Tom S.
