My best friend recently printed out a bunch of emails from her crazy mom to take into her therapist so he could know exactly what she was dealing with.
My mom came to a couple of psychiatrist appointments with me, the idea being that it would shed light on Teh Craxy From Which I Am Made.
My brother's reaction said it best: "You took MOM to THERAPY?!? Are you dumb??? You KNOW how well she fakes 'normal'!!!"
I like the Gieco Caveman commercial where he's at his therapists' and his mom calls. Then he says, "I'm going to put this on speaker."
Funny 'cause it's TRUE.
"You took MOM to THERAPY?!? Are you dumb??? You KNOW how well she fakes 'normal'!!!"
so, how did it go with her there?
She completely came across as Nice, Normal, Concerned Mom Who Is In No Way Interfering With Her Daughter's Life Or Fucking Her Up Mentally. It's like I described one mom to the shrink, but the one who came to the appointments with me was a total other human being.
Congratulations, SA!!!! I'd like to see a list of the pros and cons of each place. (I've never been to England at all and would like to travel vicariously, if that's not a problem)
Congrats, SA! Double congrats, even!
thanks everyone for the congrats! and I'm sorry the month is sucking otherwise!
lisah, not a problem at all, but I am putting all thoughts of deciding off for the rest of the evening and just reveling in the happy. I've given myself until the end of april to decide, and tonight I'm going salsa dancing, so I have lots of time for a thousand lists. and don't doubt they will be coming.
Lists! GOOD lists! yay for one piece of good news in this morass of ick.
SA, congrats! I got mired down in the suck, and forgot the YAY, which is stupid and will never get me into York or Cardiff.
SA, that's awesome news, congrats. I didn't mean to skip you!
WOOT! Double congrats to you, SA!
I'm okay with this adopting each other as family as long as we can be kissin' cousins. IJS.
A valid point.
