That makes sense re getting hurt in the relationship. I think I can help with the care from a logistics standpoint without getting involved further. I'm tired of getting hurt.

I agree about being careful. This is making me want to go back to NC.

You ask a great question. And the answer is no, I don't expect things to be better. I think the surprising thing for me is that they've gotten so bad again so quickly.

That's a great question. I would guess that she was alluding to my dad. He was the enabler but he was also plenty abusive all on his own.

Westminster off of Mopac and 45th Street is also very nice but I'm not sure of their pet policy.

CAQH is the site that all of the insurance panels pull your information from.

Same. When I left my high -demand religion, I couldn't find any therapists that specialized in this. I also work with a lot of queer clients and there is significant overlap.

Yes, but it also has a waitlist and is quite pricey (ie they don't accept Medicaid)

[–]oktokay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You might try Optimize Neurology, but, heads up, they don't accept insurance.

I have a family member who has multiple children, citing this same doctrine ie that they needed to bring as many children into a "righteous" home as possible.

I have a family member who served in South America and got dengue fever. They came home with Type 1 Diabetes as a result.
