Sunday I meet up with my dear friend Janie and her grandson Curtis and headed back out to Faire. I was surprised to find that my sister and her family also decided to spend the day at Scarborough! We had a good time shopping and watching the kids play games and enjoying another perfect weather day. I saw so many people that I have not seen in a long time! It was such a perfect day I didn't even let Mom's drunkenness get to me! I can't wait to go back out there in a couple of weeks!
Now the bad... I have been having some issues with a certain client at my Practicum site. I knew that there would be clients that just rub me the wrong way or have a way of pushing my buttons. I was expecting it. What I didn't expect was to be left alone to deal with these things. I feel like I was thrown to the wolves and then slapped in the face when I made a mistake. This is supposed to be a learning experience for me but it's hard to learn without a teacher. The other CI's have helped the best they can and are truly good people, but it is not their job to train or teach me. I feel as if I can't do anything right and whats worse I am starting to question if I am cut out to be a counselor. I knew this would be hard and I also knew that I would have days like this, but I also expected to have some kind of support system at the job. I also feel like all this facility cares about is the money and not the clients. I am worried that every facility is like this and if thats the case I am not sure I want to be in this business. It's been a long hard day, and I have a lot to think about.

Lyndi,
you have worked too hard to throw it away now. Have you made suggestions about your concerns to those in charge? Have you tried to figure other solutions? Are there other places you can work? You talked about starting your own place. Get the basics down first and then worry about the other.
