Have you found a decent therapist in our area? By your descriptions I know I am a close neighbor.<P>I need to refer a friend and I want her to try the Harley method.

Hey there InShock,<P>I wish I/we would have found one that helped in our situation.<P>Before we got married, we knew there were some problems that were to be overcome. We visited one that said we should not get married at all. We thought HE was nuts. Strange techniques. That and he constantly picked at his toes during the session. I guess we should have listened to him minus the toe thing. He is not in the area any longer.<P>After discovery I interviewed a councelor whom seemed to fit the bill. I was looking specifically for a STBT therapist. We found this one went back to our childhoods. Not what we wanted. Not what she told me up front. Lied to again. I doubt that I was a rotten H because I fell down the cellar steps at age three. That and she played with her dog too much for my liking seeing that I was paying for marrital help and not petting the pooch.<P>Last one wouldn't talk to me before the session because of patient confidentiality. WHAT? This was the last one Val would see, so I had no choice. Looked promising after the first session. Val asked me to lunch. He wanted to see her privately and turned her against me. She did this because of her self esteem and should expore new relationships. Thanks Pal.<P>So as you can see, I have had no success in this area and Val is not interested in "wasting" any more money.<P>Sorry, I couldn't help. More sorry I couldn't help us.<P>Tim

Well, thanks anyway. It aint fun living in cow country when you want good help !!<P>It does not surprise me that you had a shoe-less therapist, a therapist playing with the past during a crisis or a new-agey, go go woman therapist. And if you go again, stay away from anyone on Emaus Ave !! These people done never heared of Doc Harley.<P>Perhaps I can call an ambulance for the person needing help here !!! Perhaps the medic will inject some sense into her head and we can forget therapy altogether. <P>As far as checking up on Val, you'll feel better if you don't. I don't know why, but it is so much worse when you see with your own eyes what you only "think" is going on.<P>Tell anybody, including Val, pointing out just how loooong your separation has been, to stick it where the sun don't shine. How very cruel and thoughtless people can be. I always hated when my xH or anyone said stuff like that. Just rubs me wrong.<P>Also, why was the OM out on his porch if he had not been warned? It was not nice out that nite, what's the deal? WHO told him?<P><BR>Genie,<BR>I'll get with you shortly. Hope you're good.<BR>I am accept that I just found my friend (sister) is having an affair. I hate this sh*t, I really do.

OH InShock,<P>Emaus Ave, is that with one "M" or two, depends on the map and street signs you see. Boy, you are close.<P>I don't believe that I will be looking for her car anymore. Well, not right away. Not until the anger overcomes the sadness. That's gonna leave a mark in the morning. A scarlet "FU" for the SFB.<P>As far as how long we have been apart, I told her that it was just an excuse on her part, YES, I know LB. 15 yard penalty. It pisses me off too.<P>The reason I believe that Brian was out looking is that the alley way is steep and out of the way. As far as I can figure the kitchen faces the back. It was around dusk and I had the headlights on. I'm not hiding from anyone and have no reason to. It's a public street. One would have to have a reason to take that pathway... as if you were looking for your W's car. I slowed, couldn't believe what I was seeing, but continued. Did another pass for the note drop off. Hey, I was nice. The Cat turd got a full five finger wave.<P>I didn't file a flight plan and know he saw it coming. <P>Not sure what I want at this point other than happiness. If Val is inclueded GREAT. If not, that's OK for me too.<P>Zip
