Poor Frank!
I'm so glad that you are okay and totally lament your loss. May this incredibly scary and tedious transition bring you good things.
Seems like everyone's got a tale to tell.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Good job, you...sj.
Making the decision to correct your course (in the nautical sense) is one of the greatest displays of courage, to my way of thinking.
I hope the next therapist you interview is the right one, but if not, I know you will eventually find what you need. Cheers!

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Frankenbuddha, that's horrible! I'm sorry about your landlord, and I hope finding a new place goes well for you. That is some scary shit.
sj, I hope your next therapist is much better suited to your needs and personality.
I should do the squat program with a focus on wide leg squats - those work the inner quad, right? I need to balance out.

Looking around on the 200 Squats website, I just have to say, squat, squat, squat, the word no longer has any meaning...
Good luck finding the next therapist, sj. I'm sure breaking up with the last one is diffficult, but good for you for taking good care of yourself!

Thrive to spite them
sj I'm sorry your therapist has not been good for you. I hope the next one really works out.
The squat thing is interesting but every time I try my knees go over my toes so I must be doing it wrong and I've looked at a few videos, but still knees over the toes. Maybe my knees are too fat.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Occasionally I’m callous and strange
sj, that is good to hear that you have better options. If calling is too fraught, maybe you could send a letter or email to explain why you are leaving? Sounds like your therapist might benefit from knowing how their behaviour is affecting you in a very not positive way, but there's also no reason to upset yourself even more...your job is to find someone who can actually help you rather than making everything worse. The former therapist may be beyond self improvement.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Frank, how scary! I'm so glad you are safe, so sorry to hear about your landlord and about losing your home. Fingers crossed that you land in a good place.
And yay Scrappy! So glad you have found yourself a great job! I love the neighborhood where you will be working.

Yay, Scrappy! Good news is welcome!
