The pain clinic head honcho thinks it would benefit me to speak to a psychologist.

Heh.

My child is not in pain because I haven't spoken to a psychologist about my feelings and I know exactly how the convo will go:

Pdoc: So, your child hurts.
Me: Yeah.
Pdoc: That must be hard.
Me: More so for her than me.
Pdoc: It isn't hard for you to watch your child hurt?
Me: Yes, it is hard, but the pain is harder on her than it is for me.
Pdoc: You're obviously in denial.
Me: About what?
Pdoc: How long has your husband been abusing you?
Me: WHAT? I didn't say that -
Pdoc: Denial is obviously a tool you use to protect yourself from pain.
Me: But my husband isn't hurting me!
Pdoc: You're here to discuss your feelings about your child and instead you are discussing your husband. There is obviously something there that you have repressed.
Me: YOU brought up my husband!
Pdoc: You obviously aren't ready to confront this yet. Let's move on. How long have you wanted to kill yourself?
Me: WHAT? I didn't say that!
Pdoc: Your body language told me.
Me: This is ridiculous.
Pdoc: Your child is ill and your husband beats you. It's natural to have feelings of wanting to kill yourself.
Me: My husband doesn't beat me!
Pdoc: I think I understand why your child hurts. Her mind is manifesting her psychic turmoil by making her body sick.
Me: Turmoil over what?
Pdoc: It's natural for children who are being raped by their father to feel somatic pain.
Me: WHAT?? I never said he was hurting her!
Pdoc: Your body language told me. Body language doesn't lie. I think it took great courage for you to come here today. I'm going to recommend that your children be removed from your care until you can break with your husband.
Me: But he isn't hurting us! He never laid a hand on us!
Pdoc: I'm only discussing the elephant in the room, Transient. I understand you are upset, but if you continue to threaten me, I'll have to call security.
Me: I didn't threaten you -
Pdoc: I understand how much pain you are in. All of this acting out is natural when you have been betrayed by those you are supposed to trust. I'm speaking of course of the priest who raped you.
Me: Are you crazy? I've never been raped by a priest! I'm not even Catholic! My husband isn't hurting any of us and I'm leaving. You are the most incompetent twit I've ever encountered!
Pdoc (into intercom): Security! I need you right away! Transient, based on your having expressed feelings of suicidal ideation and overt threats against me, I have no choice but to commit you to a psychiatric hospital for the next fifteen years.

They drag me off, drooling, screaming and cursing.
