Let Sleeping Dogs Rant

[yuna628 9,689]

I love it when I get up before dawn to get my dad all the way over to a doctor's appointment in time, and then the doctor (well... the PA...) doesn't even know what he's doing there for.

 

I don't love it when the sword wielding scary guy I've noted for many many many months on the street corner (I won't say begging.. because his sign is not asking for money.. I can't say protesting either because the sign is gibberish.. but I'd absolutely say he is a danger to others) and warned the police about, actually did pop off over the weekend and go into local businesses threatening people while naked. If only they like took it seriously before. 

 

My husband tells me his friend is getting a divorce. Was quite a shock. I feel for the guy and I feel for their kids. But he also tells me the situation and I think these two people need serious counselling (she has huge baggage that needs therapy she can't expect her husband to fix). Unfortunately she's the one requesting the divorce, wants pretty much everything, and is demanding to just use one attorney - hers. So both my husband and his friend asked what I thought. I thought it was a terrible idea, recommended the friend find some representation, because it sounds as if he continues to let her dictate all terms of divorce in this way she will clean him out. He's made some mistakes that I don't think any reasonable woman would find that objectionable, but this breakdown is in no way his fault. His way to be amicable without really agreeing to the divorce in the first place, is to let her have what she wants because he still loves her. I've had some female friends get themselves into serious issues in this way when their relationships failed, this is the first time I've seen a guy follow this pattern. Not sure he's going to take my advice. But what can you do?

I came up with the name of an attorney who supposedly is very good. I won't say he's junkyard though, as I'm not sure this young father is looking to be nasty. What he needs is guidance and protection. I just don't think he's going to listen to us though. Perhaps I need to suggest that if his wife will not seek therapy, that he needs to talk to someone himself, for his own mental health.

 

You know I asked my dad what he thought of that appointment today, and it suddenly occurred to us that the flow of the conversation with the PA was so odd and he seemed so confused to the point we both believe he was actually hungover.

Report this to the head of the hospital or clinic and request a refund of the fees paid, si Y ma'am.
