It may seem like it doesn't/shouldn't matter,but it matters to me.

My T(who is a psychologist in private practice) is obviously wealthy,especially in comparison to the average Joe in my town.

One year things were really tough,my husband was sick and off work,I had recently quit my job and was caring for him and I was too embarrased to talk about money problems during sessions.Things got so rough that we applied for food stamps,but in order to get them I needed to have a form filled out by my T stating that I have PTSD,the main reason I had quit my job.I didn't have him fill the form out,I didn't tell him anything about it either and instead went to churches and food pantries for food.

Writing that out makes it seem so silly now.I shouldn't have cared how it made me look,I should have held my head high and talked about it and gave him the form to fill out.But at the time I really didn't think he would be able to relate to what I was going through,he just seemed like he was in a totally different stratosphere than I was.

I'm grateful,and fortunate,that things have greatly improved financially since that year,but still,thinking about it still bothers me.

Anyone else have a wealthy T?Has it ever made you feel inferior?
