Affair with doctor
| Fri, 09-24-2004 - 8:28pm |
I went to a counselor for three years who started an affair with me during the third session. It's sickening to me now, but I was so scared! The state had custody of my son;I was separated from my husband, divorced now. I guess at first I just accomodated my therapist, but after awhile I clung to the security that one day we might be together. He's married with two kids. Sometimes he gives hints that he'll leave her, but most of the time he says he won't. I used to feel guilty, but I think they have a sort of open marriage. I just don't want to be a part of it anymore. I feel like a gross, sick, deformed thing trying to date other guys. My doctor took advantage of my situation, mental state, etc. I need to try to take my part of the responsibility for this so that hopefully I can get out of this situation. I'm having a very hard time with it. I used to think I was a good person, but now I just feel like a hypocrite. Please help!!!

gross, sick, deformed and parrisite would be better words to discribe this so called Dr.
What he has done is totally unethical and may very well be woth his lisence to practice, he knows this you need to know it to, you have more power in this situation then you may think you do.
This creature has taken advantage of a patient that he know was vulnerable, this is HIS FAULT not yours.
He will never leave his wife for a patient if he did he would be found out right away and could be saying good by to that license again.
Get a lawyer and see what can be done to right the situation.
Free
Just an idea.
I appreciate that you put it into its rightful perspective. I've been struggling with guilt for a long time. I don't really hurt that much about it anymore. I'm just trying to forget about it. He does need to be stopped, however. I will have to think it on it more.
