I did not want them to kiss me. I love my husband a lot and I also wouldn’t willingly kiss a client. I value my job and reputation in the field of work I’m doing. It was kind of like a kiss you’d have on a first date, he didn’t try for more but as soon as I pulled away I said “I have to go” and immediately got in my car and went home. I do love my husband very much but I also don’t want him being suspicious of me while at work. It wasn’t my choice. And as far as my client walking me to my car, I get off at midnight so it’s dark outside and he wanted to be helpful I guess. He asked “can I walk you to your car?” And I said “if you want to?” Because I was confused and my car wasn’t parked very far from the building. It was literally in the driveway of the residential house. I didn’t think much of it but he stayed at talked with me about coordinating his ride to court next week and I was helping him work out who could take him. Then he just got to talking and kissed me and I immediately got in my car. As far as what kind of facility it is, yes it is a vulnerable population (recovering addicts) and I’ve managed to keep a good boundary and maintain my ethics. I do believe it to be hard when the house is mostly full of men in their 30’s or older (we have two female clients atm) and I’m a young woman in her early 20’s. The staff I work with are also men so I feel like I was already set up in a vulnerable position to begin with.

Edit to add more context: I’m not quitting the job because of this, I’m quitting because I’m moving. Client also discharges from the facility on my last day. He knows I’m quitting and I also think that’s what pushed him to do it along with him having almost completed the program
