Thanks Frank, It warmed my heart to learn someone is benefitting from my sitch.
I emailed X a request for the two of us to sit down with a counselor. Much to my surprise she agreed and we had a session Monday. She says she's frightened of me, feels "threatened" (my L mentioned this but said I'm one if the least threatening clients she's ever had), has trouble sleeping and upset stomach. All of this is because I "had" her arrested.
Her version of events that day are different from what I remember happening. I'm not losing any sleep over her beliefs but it explains shg the kids see md as the "bad" guy in all this as they have heard her version and see her drama.
I did my best to be diplomatic in our discussion. Except for how it's impacting the kids our difference of opinion about that day are irrelevant.
This is a mess that won't soon be resolved. I have a session with the kids Monday.
What should I say?
"The answers are within you" (can't remember who). Unfortunately, so is the bullshit.
