Today I did what needed to be done. I was tired of my case worker dodging my calls and making excuses. I went on down to the office prepared with notes, a pad of paper and a pen.
I guess he knew that if he refused to see me I was gonna fight even harder. And well I can get vocal, LOL.
I went in his office, sat up straight and kept a healthy assertive voice. I didn't let him make excuses, I said I didn't want to hear it because what matters in this conversation is me, not him. I have made the decision that if my demands have not been made in three weeks from today, I will go to higher powers. I am not afraid to fight.
My demands were to have a counselor, I told him I deserved one. I told him that my past didn't make me a bad person, and they should not use it against me.
I told him I wanted a pchyciatrist because I needed one.
I also wrote down the days he said he would be talking to the people.
Okay I need to go because someone is coming to my house to do my hair (foils and a cut) and I need to get ready.
Love ya!

Good for you! I am so impressed! I know I have a hard time standing up for myself, but sometimes you have to fight for what you want.

Hi it's me, looking at m hair, I can't help but laugh. I don't know if I expected it to turn out this way ;) See I have dark brown hair, and now have almost blond streaks. So, what can a girl do. I mean it looks good, but it is different. It's just gonna take time to adjust to the change.

OMG, Kristina, that's absolutely FABULOUS!!!!!

I'm so proud of you for doing that, and you're completely right, you DO deserve those things-and you shouldn't have to point that out to a professional, either!

I absolutely hate confrontations-to the extent that I stayed with my last partner for about 6 months longer than I should have because I couldn't face the thought of raising the issue!

Hugs!

Keep Shining,

Chris

My surgeon's nurse has a cute cut. It's kind of pixie-ish on top, but
