I know that, MrsNOP, and I've told her that. Even used a self-deprecating analogy of "Now you know why I hated to go to that FINANCIAL counselor I worked with a few years ago, but he did help us!" I tried telling her "look at it as someone to just TALK to; you've said your mother isn't good at that, you don't have a sister, and don't really have any close female friends. Maybe you'll enjoy having someone to talk to!"

Nope.

"Fallacious" implies logic; I can assure you, MrsNOP, there isn't a logical bone in my wife's body. Think "Venusian on steroids."

Choc.
