10/28/24 Please Leave My House

I can count on one hand the number of men I have given their money back and asked them to leave my house. Yesterday was one of these.

I had seen this client one time before and everything was fine so I was looking forward to seeing him again. The first thing he did was tell me that the Covid vaccine caused people to be magnetized. He said that he actually saw a friend put a magnet on their skin where they had the shot and it stuck. This is such a myth and only one crazy doctor in Ohio claimed this. Ohio almost took her license away for this but good old Republican state did not in the end. Now the IRS is suing her for $650,000 because she didn’t pay taxes. Yeah, that’s a fucking conspiracy theory and I’m having no part in it.

Then, as if that wasn’t bad enough, he starts in on how we kill babies after they’re born in the United States. Oh my God. Really? When people talk about things like this and believe it’s true, I feel they are very dangerous because they will tell other people what they believe is true and spread lies. I am a bit embarrassed to say that I did yell at this guy after he said this because I was so appalled and so disgusted. Shortly after that, I asked him to leave and gave him his money back.

I’m sorry, but I cannot tolerate conspiracy theories. If you believe these to be true, then please don’t tell me so. It just upsets me and aggravates me. I think, too, that this was Sunday and Sundays are very difficult for me. I wanted to stay busy so that I might not grieve as much as I do on Sundays. But there’s really no getting around it and this guy did not help.

After the fact, I really started to think about this exchange, and the therapist in me thinks that this guy was trying to push my buttons. And boy did he ever. He also kept asking me if I had any proof that killing babies was not going on, but I never thought to ask him if he had proof that it was. And what I told him I still believe. If this ever happened, it would be all over the news and it would be being litigated. There’s no way that any parent would accept a baby being killed after it’s born. Now there is such a thing as a stillbirth, but that isn’t what he meant. And then he tried to tell me that he was not a Trump supporter. So was he just trying to stir up shit? Kind of makes you wonder. At any rate, I am doing so well that I don’t have to see anybody I don’t want to. And I don’t want to see someone like that.
