You know, I counseled battered women. Not the best analogy Joinfortmill Monday #24

I think it is a good analogy. Irish_Dem Monday #46

We disagree. These women often struggle Joinfortmill Monday #49

Yes but the entire point of therapy is to help them sever the abusive bonds. Irish_Dem Monday #51

That is true, but the analogy was, to me, careless at best Joinfortmill Monday #54
