        My mom and I were on our way to Dollar General.

        I was horrified. I didn't want to talk or repeat anything I said in that room. Ever! After that one experience I never wanted to go back. 

        It was awkward because my mom was in the small room with us the whole time. I had to say everything with my mom sitting there with us. I thought counseling was alone, so I would feel free to say anything I wanted or perhaps needed to say.

        I didn't say anything extra. I just said whatever I needed to say without going into detail at all. I was hoping she wouldn't ask for details. 

        On some instances she did. If I didn't answer a question or it took too much time for me to answer because I was embarrassed, she would stay quiet for about a half a minute then say my name. 

        I hated that so much, mostly because I was embarrassed, but also because I didn't trust her. She was a stranger to me, yet she knows everything wrong with my life. It made me feel so exposed!

        I was completely against doing that ever again, but I knew that next week mom would take me there again.........
