Dear T(talk therapist T),

You are correct. If I say black, he says white. I say up, he says down. Anything to just purposely state the opposite of myself.

I have, the past two years, expressed interest in moving back to homebase, well, at least where I went to high school, and lived on and off, when coming home from college, and the year, after college.

I have given, clear valid reasons. Even, so much, to explain how and why a tri-mester grading system, makes it overtly difficult for children to go to college or get into the colleges of their top choices. Which, for that college talk, I get, where he didn't go, blah blah. Just because he didn't have an opportunity, not interest, no need to set the kids up, to not be able to go where they want, if they so choose to go. This part, wasn't evident to me, until the past couple of years, of working in the high school and talking to moms of high school aged kids.

No, no, no, he kept stating, alongside of racist remarks, made, about it, he also kept calling me crazy to even entertain such a movement. Now, the point about the city movement, is that by virtue of the troubles it has had, with the making the mark in it's overall grades, it was on probation, when I was there, then lost accreditation, then receivership, yet, the top performing students aren't actually limited because of it. Some of the troubles I'd seen there, were marks against rugs on floors, things to that nature, not necessarily the teaching staff. ANd because of this, children there, have the option to waiver into any local area high school. So, it gives the kids options.

But like you observed, through our years of sessions, I say black, he says white.
