Can we please voluntarily end this thread from grlimilakinskeeper, or whatever her screen name is...it's getting too personal, and not very productive.

Did you just make that one up out of whole cloth? It doesn't take a lot of effort to find the thousands of studies regarding the effects of divorce on children. Claiming that it's just a temporary unpleasantness that can be shrugged off with a couple of pats on the back smacks of some serious, serious denial.

You said they were rude to you because you said you were an engineer. I believe it was the sahms at your kids school who said you didnt love your kids enough to stay at home, wasnt it? Funny how all these stories are about how persecuted you have been over the years.

But that does not mean they do not have an equal amount of education. Just a different type.

Again, you need to research the differences between psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. You really DONT understand it. You keep glossing over peoples explanations and claiming you understand the difference. But you do not. Every post you make highlights your ignorance on the subject.

ITA. The attitude being shown here is exactly why so many people DONT seek help when they should. The stigma, the attitude that they should be able to just suck it up and deal with their life. Its completely outdated and ignorant, and it amazes me that there are people who still see counseling as some kind of weakness.

In our state, to become a licensed psychologist, one has to have a Phd *AND* 3000 hrs experience (similar to a residency) under another licensed psychologist.

Cyndi seems to have the mistaken notion that counselors and psychologists are the rejects from med school who couldnt make it as psychiatrists. Which, as the rest of us know, is completely untrue. Its simply a different type of education.

Wow. the stupidity in this post is truly astounding. congratulations on reaching yet another posting low.

<>

First, let's clarify -- my daughter is 8 YEARS old...she talks with her friends about Barbies, homework, riding her bike and scooter, etc....they're not sitting around having long, drawn-out conversations about her mom and dad divorcing, LOL! she also has PLENTY of adults that she can talk to -- from us as her parents to her aunts & uncles, as well as family friends and teachers. However, kids at this age might not even know that something is bothering them. Sometimes, it takes the right question or statement to open the child up to work through the "stuff" that is there. OF COURSE as her MOM, I take her "pulse" on this issue often. However, as the caretaker that she is, she may or may not want to burden ME with her stuff -- she's that emotionally caring for others. and i don't want her walking around carrying those kinds of burdens on her shoulders.

<>

that depends on the child now, doesn't it? my youngest is the perfect example -- she will talk to just about anybody about just about anything, LOL. It has nothing to do with me writing the check, lol. She's a gabber and ASKED if she could go back and talk to him. She's also very trusting of adults -- no reason why she shouldn't be.

<>

LOL! at 8 years old they're not talking about who's in therapy for what and what was discussed, ROFLOL.....they're typical little girls.

you might want to stop now before you really show off how little you know what you are talking about.

I see you pretty much agree with everything I said, and you are now busy reconsidering your position from an enlightenned perspective. I couldn't ask for anything more. Don't let it go too long...as you know, sometimes all it takes is the right question or statement to create stuff that was never there in the first place.

Very nice try - but the comparison is 100% valid. You are really desperate to hold onto that very misguided perspective - go for it. Whatever gets you through the day.

Comparing a psychologist to a psychiatrist is almost like comparing a doctor to a lawyer. Now thats got to be the most misguided, uniformed, and actually, hillarious thing I've heard in ages. Too bad I can't laugh. Its just not funny.

How is it invalid? Clinical psychology and psychiatry are two different things.


Here's a link for you. It's even from Canada, so maybe you'll relate to it better.

In case you're link impaired, here's some highlights for you:


Psychologists “are concerned with the study and management of human behaviour.”
