I just sought professional help.

I went to see a shrink.

Go ahead and laugh, but I think it took courage. Plus, it was not easy to schedule, but we did it!

When I got there, he asked me if I drink, then pointed at the minibar in his office. I was shocked! I was sure it was a test, so I declined.

The next question he asked was, "Why are you seeking help?" I told him that I was taking a suggestion from a poster on the Gilmore Girls board.

From that point forward, all he did was talk about his ex. He just kept complaining about her vuppish ways, and how she constantly harped on him. Then he poured himself a drink! He complained about Hollywood, he complained about children, and he complained about people who watch too much television.

Long story short, I ended up giving him advice!

I guess all we can do is talk to each other and hope for the best... happy April Fools Day, everyone!

Love,
James

Went to grad school with an odorous, chubby, bike riding girl. She, however, was very bright. Would never study, but would come into our grad study room (still smelly) and speed read thru the engineering material and always ace or beat the rest of us males with her test scores. Really pissed her off; but who couldn't admire her!?? Anyway, she told us both her parents were shrinks and alcoholics. Said, they'd have parties with all her parents' shrink friends who were just as screwed up, or more, than her parents. She basically said that's why shrinks become shrinks, because they're screwed up and are trying to figure themselves up. Sounds like your story confirms it!!
