She had to have gone back to school when her kids were in their early teens at most, so I know she must've worked darn hard for it. Yeah, mind-boggling... And the thing is, I adore her...

(((JustShaky))) Sorry you had to go through that too... it's crazy. I keep wanting to tell my current-T, "you know, we need to make sure at least ONE person in the room is sane... and we know that's not going to be ME"
I wish there were a "secret shopping" service for Ts! It was/is so hard for me to see that some of the craziness wasn't really *me*, and that my T should have been able to handle it better.
One of the things that makes me hopeful about current T (and forgive me if I've already said this) is he has a very strong presence... I think (hope) that means a strong sense of self that's not going to get sucked into my stuff. When I gave him the list of things that had freaked me out (from a previous visit), he joked that he has "pretty good self-confidence" - but said it in a way that sounded like he really was very comfortable with it, and himself. Unlike previous T, who made jokes that highlighted him thinking that I didn't like him. It's all so weird.
Thanks!
