Clever,
No, I do not agree.
My son is a research psychiatrist at Boston University Hospital, specializing in addiction research. Addiction - cigarettes, alcohol, drugs - is a HUGE and HUGELY expensive problem in this country. He has been involved in the testing of Anabuse, Chantix, Provigil, and a bunch of other drugs to assist in addiction control. Finding an effective cure/prevention for addiction is going to save the country billions of dollars a year and it isn't going to be done by an electrical engineer. It's going to be done under the direction psychologists and psychiatrists.

Yes, PM me with the info. Please PM your full name. I don't want to introduce myself as being referred by "Dennis from the PPOT message board."

I have a psychologist friend who believes that people go into the social work/psychology/psychiatry field as they themselves are so screwed up mentally that they seek a solution to their own problems ostensibly by solving the mental issues of others.

Munchausen's by proxy....

Dennis

Is that why your friend got into the industry?

[sc_rufctr]

This Bozo is certainly getting some attention... Maybe that's their thing?

I don't care about him or his family. He's an odd dude but so what.

[ckelly78z]

And God forbid, that someone posts anything negative on social media about it.....the flaming liberals would start screaming foul, and elevate her to "Hero" status, like some other transgender phsycho from that popular reality TV family.

I really dont see the problem here? I often ask Mother to tuck me in bed and tell me a bed time story. I also ask her to leave the hallway light on so I won't be scared of the dark. Mother then gives me that look and say, "Do I have to?" With a sneer on her face adding , "You aren't going to start crying again if I say no are you?"

So you think so to?

I agree this person is a little odd. However, on the subject of transgender, you really need to know a transgender person and experience them before you criticize. My grade school daughter has a very good friend who is transgender. I knew it at her 4 year old birthday party. She can't help this. I would have the same reaction as you had prior to experiencing this person myself. Try compassion for those who have a much tougher time than we do.

Big difference between a 4 yr old and a 46 yr old pretending to be 4.

Good luck to your son and his research. Addiction is an awful thing. Keep us posted on any breakthroughs you may hear of.

Fair enough. But I have a problem with this "dude" giggling after bragging that he almost went a week without even thinking of his former family. That, to me, is the pinnacle of selfishness. He gets zero respect from me.
