Just for fun

[Tangled Web]

One of my first experiences with T was in my teenage years after a hospitalization and I was living in a group home. In order to remain living in the group home we were giving the choice to either go to this T (I think he might have even been a doctor or something). I didn't want to go and told my case worker that but I had to. So off I went and stared out the window in his office. There was a bird that would always come to visit outside his window that would entertain me. He would get so mad and at one point he even closed the drapes because of the amusement I found watching this bird. I wouldn't talk to him. After about 4 or 5 sessions like that he asked me why I was there and I came right out and told him that if I didn't come to see him I was going to be kicked out from where I live. The look on his face was priceless. I don't know if it was because I spoke to him or if it was because of what I said. Probably a little bit of both. LOL. Well he said that if I didn't want to be there then I shouldn't come and we were just wasting both our time and I told him I agreed so he quit and closed my file!
I figured he was going to notify my case worker at the time but he didn't. About 6 months went by and my case worker asked me one day how my sessions were going with this guy and I looked at him and said what guy? He reminded me of who I was supposed to be seeing and I said OH that guy-well he quit a few months ago. Well my case worker was shocked then. I really didn't see the big deal but apparently it was and he reminded me of the conditions of keeping my place in the house and I told him that I filled those requirements-I went. He was the one that saw no point in seeing me again. Needless to say I got to stay in the first place I ever felt safe and loved.
I thought it was really funny but them not so much but they learned that you can make me do something but you can't make me talk!
