Excellent article. Here's a male domestic abuse victim who genuinely could use the LSC assistance. http://www.philly.com/mld/philly/14606899.htm

Very odd, isn't it?

Becky is using Blog Therapy because she can't afford regular therapy! The few dollars a month that she spends spilling her guts on her site beats the big bucks her therapist wanted!

Currently, Becky is answering the quintessential therapy "starter", "Tell me about your childhood".

I am thinking that we should make up a bunch of our Rorschach inkblot tests for Becky so that she can move on in her Blog Therapy beyond the childhood question.

PS. Gotta tell a joke at this point which is about this guy who was obsessed with sex. Every ink blot that the therapist showed him resulted in a sexually related comment from the guy. After about 2 dozen Rorschach cards and sexually explict comments, the therapist says, "You really have a dirty mind don't you?"

The guy replies, "Me?! You are the one with the dirty pictures!"

Loved the joke, Ron!

Edited to add: I still fail to understand why Becky has fixated on certain people/issues, like Ben's case. Who are Ben or Wendy to her? Why is it so difficult for Becky to realize that the DA determined that Wendy and her associate falsely accused Ben? There's no objectivity from Becky on this point at all.

She thinks that all men are bad - save her son. That's why her son can push and twist people's arms and - he's a victim - but Ben whom she doesn't know - is guilty even though the facts say otherwise.

It's all part of blog therapy.
