The third I think somehow escaped Germany right before the allies planted their flag back in '45. She looked at me with that freaky, piercing eye as soon as I walked in the door, and I knew that it was no use to even say a word.

I have dragged his butt into counseling a few times over our 22 years of marriage ONLY so that someone else could tell him how wrong he was and what an ass he was being, etc. I enjoyed being validated. I liked sitting there and having him put into place by someone else besides me. Rarely did the counselor point out something that I was doing wrong...because that was seldom ever the case. You think I'm joking but I'm not! Seriously. Any man would want me as a wife because I am simple a gem. Just ask my husband. He will tell you so. Because he knows if he doesn't....I'll drag his butt back to a counselor. I just have to say the words, "Hmmm...maybe our marriage needs a tune up with a counselor..." and his attitude miraculously changes. Funny how that works.Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04446770591516588794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-33797483502047359512015-08-17T12:40:10.732-04:002015-08-17T12:40:10.732-04:00A joke for you: Two psychiatrists are alone on an ...A joke for you: Two psychiatrists are alone on an elevator together. They go down a few floors when the elevator stops, the doors open & another man gets on. The new arrival grabs the first psychiatrist, gives him a huge kiss on the lips & then gets off. The second psychiatrist says to the first , "I know you're not gay. Why didn't you do something?" The first answers, "Why should I?

She got to learn how to out smart them, to answer the questions the way they "expected" them to be answered and had them fooled she was getting "better" with dealing with her depression. On the other hand, I loved talking with the counselor at times because it was nice to have someone that was not emotionally attached to me (i.e. family or friend) justify my feelings and understand what I was going through.<br /><br />bettybettyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06323135450742337670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-12144393195187172422015-08-17T09:19:59.217-04:002015-08-17T09:19:59.217-04:00I had a friend who was going bonkers, I thought. ...I had a friend who was going bonkers, I thought.

Before that he saw different psychologists who all gave up on him, or he gave up on them. This one's a 'keeper' and has helped him, but he never talks about the real problems: the abuse he endured from toddler age onwards. I only know this because he once told me something when he was drunk. He has many other problems too.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-52383391259313891442015-08-17T04:05:15.254-04:002015-08-17T04:05:15.254-04:00I've always that they end up over exaggerating...I've always that they end up over exaggerating the issues that don't even exist. never thought they could help. <br /><br />The Purple Assassin.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15095965913335974493noreply@blogger.com
