Yes, when I talked in the IC the therapist spent about 5 minutes talking about my mother and her problems... I kept trying to steer her away from this red herring but she wouldn't. Then she spent another 10 minutes about her philosophy on marriage and the fact that my WW may want "freedom." That really turned me off.

I've phone-interviewed three therapists prior to meeting with this one, I have to say I'm not terribly impressed with them. Seems like it's pretty easy to get an MFT. I think overall it's a grab bag, you never know what you are going to get, as Forrest Gump would say!

Tonight at DivorceCare there was a guest therapist, she works with children. I was pretty impressed by her, she is young and can probably relate better to my S11 if/when he needs help. I will keep her card.
