GG Went to a Quasi Counselor for Braniac Today (SS14)

Auteur's picture

He had made it clear that he wanted to meet with her first alone and not with Brainiac in the room. Of course she fubared that and was about to hit the buzzer to send in Brainiac. Apparently she's not a counselor but just someone who "aids communication."

GG got to tell his side about all the PAS that has transpired over the last almost eight years which COMPLETELY caught the "facilitator" by surprise. I would think any person in the Mental Health biz would realize that there are always two sides to every story but apparently not. This facilitator was obviously suckered in with all the rest in that town of 5,000 by the Behemoth's "All American Soccer Mom and Phoenix Who Has Risen From the Ashes of Divorce" personna (TM). :sick:

GG told me bits and pieces about the note from VD (SD12); he noticed the terrible spelling but wasn't too concerned about the CONTENT!!??? WTF?! Anyway I went along not showing my "hand" that I knew about that horrendous letter from VD.

He set up another meeting with an actual counselor of VD.

Now get this!! The facilitator who was an English major, told GG after looking at VD's note, that this sort of horrendously spelled letter is COMMON among sixth graders!!! :jawdrop:

I beg to differ!! I am taking GG walking tonight and in this school he will see REAL examples of what 6th grade writing SHOULD look like!!

Of course GG mentioned that he wants to talk to me about "something else" tonight. Probably the thing he has been stewing over for the last two days and most likely some made up offense about Awesomeson.

I can HARDLY wait!!!

Not a community property state at all. And marriage to him is definitely out of the question as I am convinced that he truly is mentally unstable and unbalanced. Logic and reason do not suffice. I'm glad he had a chance to get stuff off his chest to a mediocre at best so-called "specialist."

I'm going to practice the "S.E.T." technique tonight when he verbally starts picking on me or Awesomeson. The walking is a good idea b/c it will mellow him out and he's not looking at me face to face, but shoulder to shoulder when walking, a tip in the book Stepmonster for communicating with skids and that it should always be done while participating in shared activities.

Exactly! This school district is notoriously dumbed down and just plain teaching to the lowest common denominator!

After all, the Behemoth herself went to this school district and she is no Einstein!!

I feel sorry for any new teacher that enters that school district with dreams of actually teaching students so that they will learn!!

I have NO faith in the "professionals" in this podunk town. They all are the Behemoth's contemporaries.

That is a distinct possibility, however he noticed her poor spelling which he rarely makes mention to me. I guess he feels "safe" to bring it up in front of "other people."

As with any service or product, you get what you pay for. A communication "facilitator" who accepts crappy moronic writing form a sixth grader as "common" is cut rate at best. She could obviously cut it as an English teacher and is proving just as incompetent as a "counselor".

IMHO of course.

I was fortunate in my selection of a therapist when my XW and I were going through our pre divorce counseling. I grabbed the yellow pages, made some calls and picked the least expensive one I could find.

She had her MA in counseling, was licensed as a counselor, and .... was finishing up her Ph.D.

She is now a very well regarded therapist in that city.

Things got better between XW and I while we were in therapy together until..... we got in to our issue with intimacy and sex. My XW stood up and loudly proclaimed "I don't have any issues with sex" then stormed out of the therapist’s office. She never returned to counseling.

I kept going and ultimately rediscovered the Rags I like being. Eventually Doc told me "you are fine, you don't need to be here. You are a very energetic person who has a childlike zest for life. Get out there and live." And I did.

Apparently my XW was getting a lot of sex with her BF that I was unaware of at the time. She sure was not giving it up at home.

I get periodic calls from friends who see her around town occasionally. The common elements of those report are "she looks like crap", "she looks very unhappy", "she spent the entire dinner ragging on her DH and their kids", etc, etc, etc...

It is sad really. When I married her she was a beautiful, energetic, intelligent and dynamic young woman. Now apparently she is a sour faced, worn out old hag.

My therapist helped me move on. Apparently my XW never did and carried her baggage on with her.

I was fortunate.
