Seriously annoyed.
I am seriously ticked off tonight, so ticked that I completely lost my appetite, have no need at all for any kind of appetite suppressant at all, my hands are shaking, I'm super stressed and agitated as well.
That counselor that was supposed to come to the house this afternoon?
She was supposed to be here between 2:30-3pm.
At almost 5 minutes to 4pm, she was still not here.
She finally showed up at almost 4:30pm, and said she was in a meeting, that she has meetings every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, from 2pm-4pm.
So I asked her why she made an appointment to meet with us between 2:30pm-3pm if she knew she was going to be unable to make it?
She said sorry, but thought that it would be ok because as I had told her on the phone, I am always at home.
That doesn't matter!
It does not matter if I am always at home or not, if you make a freaking appointment time with me, you need to keep it.
Showing up late just because I'm always home is simply not ok to do.
If you know that you have meetings until 4pm, schedule the appointment with me for 4:30pm, because even though I don't work, and I say that I'm always home, I do have other stuff to do in my life.
I go to the store for food, I make dinner, I try to get my work done, other things, but instead, I sat here from 2:30pm-4:30pm waiting on her to show up or call, and she did tell me that she would call when she was on her way.
She never called me to tell me that, just all of a sudden, there was a car in my driveway.
I am simply not ok with people who say one thing and then do another.
Just because I'm disabled and always home, it doesn't mean that people get to play with my time like I don't matter.
I am really ticked off and angry, I'm just going to go to bed, I am tired and stressed out, just way too much going on.

Comments
People that only want to operate on their own time schedules drive me crazy. I agree with you - that counselor should have been more respectful of your time.

That just shows how unprofessional people can truly be. I hope you set her in her place. Just because you may not work outside of your home doesn't mean you don't work period.

Counseling is ALL about establishing trust. How could you establish a relationship of trust when she didn't even show common courtesy? Wow. Completely unprofessional. I am sorry, Kat. I truly wish that you and Mark could catch a break.

I have never met one professional person that is on time for any appointment. Yes, it sure does make you upset but I think they do that on purpose to see how you react to that circumstance. Never let them see you sweat. Love You

That is absolutely ridiculous and she was completely out of line.
Especially if she's supposed to be counseling you and building trust that attitude is hideous. Do you have to see her again? Or is there a different counselor that could see you guys because if that were a therapist I was seeing I wouldn't be able to work with them after that. I imagine it would be extremely difficult for you guys too.
