Speaking of pictures…I saw a picture of my shrink’s family! And this was not due to any sleuthing on my part. It was completely not my doing. I won’t go into details because it could be identifying, but I saw a photo.
I am prettier than his wife, in my opinion, and younger, but what does that mean and why did I wonder? She was attractive, just your average nice-looking but not beautiful wife and mother. Not a trophy wife. She looked kind of conservative/traditional, i.e., minimal or no make-up, suburban hairstyle. His kids were cute, but not commercial-cute kids, like I had imagined.
I had this big intimidating image of how his family must be so perfect. I’m relieved that his family is just normal looking, not a bunch of models. I am very relieved that he does not have a gorgeous wife, it makes him seem more down-to-earth and likeable, that he is not hung up on having a beautiful woman on his arm.
It was strange though. His family really is real. He doesn’t just live in his office and ponder my problems, how shocking, LOL. And of course I felt envious of them. It was somewhat surreal.
