i had a patient who had it all and then she married him. they drove matching yellow Jaguars and lived in a mansion. when he started beating her, she escaped to a women's shelter. she was sitting in intake when a young and bruised woman entered and looked around and said, "who's Jag is that out there".....when the patient answered in the affirmative, the young woman said this, "money don't buy %#@&#!, does it?"

i've never, ever forgotten the moment when the patient told that in group.
