but your view of dorm life is mine as well- no place for a vulnerable kid.

we just got back from our first visit to the therapist. she seems to see this all as my fault. i understand, as i have been depressed and know what a fun house mirror it is.
she lets me be involved, as long as i don't tell her what to do. sigh.
