one of the best emails of two thousand nine.

i received this email tonight...

a conversation I overheard:

"Yeah, so the class was kind of a waste of time."
"I know, that teacher's weird."
"Yeah, she's like an ex-Jew and teaches marriage counseling, but she's not even married."
"What can she know?"
"Yeah, why would they let some single, Jewish lady teach marriage counseling?"
"Waste of time."
"And she made us talk about porn!"
"What does that have to do with marriage counseling?"
"No idea."

Perhaps I should have spoken up, but this did make me think of you though (on the spot, I promise). And how relieved I am to know that single, Female, Jewish, marriage and family therapists are upsetting young Christian girls all up and down the coast.

holler. i'm so glad i could have been the person these girls were talking about. didn't you know that because i haven't experienced a traumatic event, i can't help with ptsd? or because i haven't been addicted to drugs, i can't help addicts? shit, guess i'll stick to working with middle class white girls in their twenties.
