wow...I'm glad you had a doc who was willing to fight! And it's true - our system is broken...


The priest thing...well he's sort of been tossed out of the actual Catholic Church. He's in some branch of the Catholic Church that (God forbid) accepts anyone and everyone. He's gay and has been in a relationship with a man for the last 35 years. He was a Deacon in my church growing up - but finally they got him out of there and he started his own church...

He also started his practice apparently - but my friend didn't know it was seperate from the church (he's kind of the clueless sort). Anyway - he is an excellent counselor but sadly my friend probably can't afford to keep going if his insurance won't cover it. He's a teacher - you'd think the school's insurance would cover mental health for sure
