Stopdog, THANK YOU.
I'm glad to know some things about my T, but wish she wouldn't talk about her daughter so much. I feel like it hinders my therapy. (hence my post about kids in the waiting room...her teenage daughter was in there for my last session)

As far as the original question, nope, didn't care when I was T shopping. I knew I wanted a woman who was my age or older, and hopefully convenient for driving to. That's it. I guess with having issues in my marriage, having someone who's been divorced herself is helpful (she has been), but it wasn't a question or a thought in the beginning. She wrote a book, and I read it, and knew from that that she was married, and had a daughter, but I didn't know until she was getting married last summer that she was divorced and Remarrying. All I knew is I hoped for a T who'd been in the profession a long time (20+years for her) so a very young T was not in the plan for me. Of course I didn't ask her age or anything...lol
