Describe your most important relationships.
Scott (husband): I'm often frustrated with him. He doesn't help me around the house. He is very impulsive. He is absorbed with his own wants and needs and doesn't think of mine. He is very needy of my time and affection. He wants sex often when it is inconvenient for me. He doesn't think through the things he says. He does things to annoy or anger others purposely. He is very self absorbed and narcissistic.
Karenna (daughter): She and I talk almost every day. She lives in Utah for skiing. I want her to get a job, but it's difficult with her training schedule. She is a type A personality. She is an overachiever, works hard, and is a perfectionist. She can be very controlling and critical of her siblings when home. She is very in control of herself even and refuses to even try alcohol or party. She hasn't really dated.
Jolie (daughter): She is very witty and moody. She is intelligent and responsible. She does well in school and has lots of friends and a boyfriend. She and I are close. She tries to keep me out of her business sometimes, but other times wants to tell me everything. She does well in school. I sometimes tell her too much about my frustrations with Scott. She hates him, but it more has to do with how he treats her than anything.
Adrianna (daughter): She is very intelligent and has a good sense of humor. She is creative and a good dancer. She is a bit lazy. I always have to yell at her to get her to do chores. She won't do any without being asked. She does do well in school and does homework mostly without help. Sometimes she asks me for help. She has been dealing with food allergies and eczema her whole life. I use to have to do a lot for her to help her deal with her skin. Now, she mostly takes care of it herself. However, I often have to force her to shower.
Jaden (son): He has been homeschooled. He has a lot of respect for me, more than for his dad. He knows he can trust me. He is affectionate with me. He just started back to school, but I know he will do fine. I feel guilty for changing his routine in the middle of the year, but I just can't manage homeschooling him while in school, doing clinical, and working part time.
Rick (friend): I like to talk to Rick for hours. He has good advice, but sometimes takes a long time to get to his point. He has very strong values and sometimes judges others. He has anxiety and trust issues, but seems to trust me.
Ryan (friend): He is funny and often inappropriate. He is sort of a narcissist though. He talks a lot and seems to enjoy talking to me. I've helped him through some really difficult situations where he wanted to die. He trusts me and respects me.
Justin (friend): He and I are very affectionate. He is very unique. He was basically unschooled. He knows a lot about trees, nature, and animals. I don't like his lack of hygeine or his poor self-care. He talks more than I do, but I can interrupt him and get him to listen when I want to. He is very free spirited and I envy that.
Alex (friend, Scott's best friend): I have a lot of respect for Alex. He has been a part of our lives for several years and is close with my kids. He cares very deeply for Scott and for my kids. It took a long time to get him to like me, but we still don't fully understand each other. He likes his privacy and I like to share everything. He is Ukranian and the culture is different. He just got remarried and I really like his wife, Alona, but she is still working on speaking English.
Mom (Linda): I call my mom a few times per week, but she often doesn't answer. I am close with her, but I don't always respect her opinion. I know she loves me, but she doesn't take an active intere
