Not feeling well
Client comes in with her 2 1/2 year old daughter. This kid has big beautiful eyes and the sweetest smile you've ever seen.
Mom is on her own, gets no financial help from her two kids' dads. She was on welfare but finally got a job interview. She had to take her kids with her to the interview, because there's nobody else to look after them. On the way to the interview they fall asleep in the car. She decides she doesn't want to wake them up, so she leaves them in the car sleeping while she goes in for her 30 minute interview. She is charged with child abuse.
Mom starts crying hysterically during intake. Her little girl stands up on the chair next to her, so their heads are at the same height. She puts her head on her mom's shoulder, hugs her mom to comfort her, and turns to me and says, "Mommy doesn't feel good today."
