Just continues to remind us that there are no absolutes!! Thanks for your comments, Rich --- you're right --- I'd love a little bit of certainty here and there, and Heaven knows, that's about the only thing we CAN'T have in our business! Just more questions. Really, I guess all we can hope for is to leave our clients with some resources that they may not have had before, and trust the humanity in them to be able to use that for something good. At any rate, the knowledge that I have gained from Don and Vick has been enormously helpful to me and to my clients, as well. I hope you will join the Institute and start a study group --- I have certainly enjoyed mine.

As for the client I mentioned: his child HAS been molested and the perp is in jail---CPS wonders if this father is ALSO an offender. That is the question right now. I'm just hoping that, should we never get the truth about that and CPS decides to return the children, that his ability to monitor and moderate his feelings will be enough to keep his behavior (if it IS deviant) in check. Don't you KNOW I'd love an absolute answer!!!!
