It was silent for a few minutes as your counselor went over your file, face void of any emotion and leaving you nothing that could give away what he was thinking about.
Your parents had sent you to a behavioral program for troubled kids after your last outburst landed you in jail.
They'd been very calculated by it , sending you before your 18 birthday so you wouldn't be able to leave even if by law you could.
You had nowhere to go and no financial support especially since your family practically abandoned you since you entered the program.
It's been months and nothing, not even a Ietter from them but you'd excepted your fate and chose to make due with what you had.
On the bright side kids there weren't that bad and most of them were in the same position as you were, the more you show progress in the program the more you're allowed freedom.
The program also helped young adults find housing and jobs once they completed the program, so it wasn't all bad but still you didn't want to be there.
A voice brings you out of your head.
"i see you have a history of violence."he shuts the thick folder and you shrugged your shoulders.
"People have a history of pissing me off."you rolled your eyes and he sighed, the new ones are always the hardest to get through to.
"We need to find the trigger only then can I help you , you can't just retaliate with violence everytime someone is being a dick to you"he half scolds you which you noticed now that he looked pretty young to be working here.
"Excuse my french"he apologized for his outburst and you smirked at him losing his temper.
"Look I'm here to help you reign in those violent impulses, that starts with identifying the problem and that means going back through your past"he said and you sighed, gathering your things and standing up.
"We're gonna be here awhile and you have another session in 20 minutes"you told him and he scoffed, blocking you from leaving with his arm.
"Then you better get started"he said and you looked at him incredulous.
"sit"he orders you and you plop back down in your chair, defeated and finally starting to give in.
-------
"You use humor as a way to hide your pain, it's not uncommon"your first session with Mr park was pretty much a success, you'd talked about your father abandoning you before you turned 5 and how your mother married quickly after he left.
It turned out neither of your parents were faithful in that marriage and that led to your trust and commitment issues.
You also have major abandonment issues which your mother never caught onto considering she'd just abandoned you just like your father.
"Thank you"you said to his statement about your coping mechanisms, you'd been through that drug phase and that played a factor in you being sent there.
You thought it was a bit hypocritical since your mother, father and step father all went through a drug phase.
"That's not a good thing"he said, shaking his head and you raised your eyebrows.
