Linda was seeing a therapist at Drenk who was pretty instrumental in persuading us to let her move in with us despite TB's strong misgivings. I had more of a tendency to trust the man because he used to be the principal at Kristin's school. We were able to work out a reasonable plan that we all could live with ... unfortunately, the therapist moved on. I thought he'd been promoted within the ranks but it turns out he went to Family Services (which means, I think, DYFS). He assured Linda that his replacement would be every bit as understanding and compassionate and blah blah blah...
Well...a couple of times I've thought about writing to the man to let him know what happened after all that. I think I have his phone number through Zabasearch. But, I thought, what would be the purpose? What could I say to this guy?
Me: Look what you did to us! You talked us into a bad deal with Linda and now we have no contact with our grandson!
Him: It's not my fault! I was acting in good faith! I didn't know things would turn out the way they did!
Yeah...see, that's the problem. I don't think he intentionally set us up. I think he was just trying to help.
Me: Hey, could you put in a good word for us with the judge if we end up having to go to court?
Him: If I can get off from work...
Wouldn't that be nice? It's a dream, though ... even if he wanted to I think it would be breaking confidentiality or something, right?
