In the 1990's, Matt Groenig had a comic strip with rabbits as its main characters called "Life is Hell." I read one of the strips today and I had write it down, it was so funny.
Two rabbits are talking to each other, we'll call them A and B. In each frame they are in profile, facing each other.
A: My therapist says that maintaining a relationship is hard work.
B: My therapist says that everything is your fault.
A: My therapist says we shouldn't dump our frustrations on each other.
B: My therapist says I can do better than hanging out with a loser like you.
A: My therapist says we need to value each other's needs and desires as highly as we value our own.
B: My therapist says if it weren't for you everything would be fine.
A: My therapist says we need to learn to have empathy for each other.
B: My therapist says you need to keep your big mouth shut.
A: My therapist says we need to manage our anger more effectively.
B: My therapist says I'm fully justified in smashing your face in.
A: My therapist says we have to learn conflict resolution.
B: My therapist says you are a sick and twisted individual.
A: My therapist says we need to learn to communicate our needs and vulnerabilities.
B: My therapist says you sound like a real jerk.
A: I think I need to get a better therapist.

Forget The rapists.
In the words of the great John Prine- (google, ironically "Spanish Pipedream".
"Blow up your TV,
Move to the country,
Build you a home.
Plant a little garden,
Eat a lot of peaches,
Try to find Jesus on your own."
I would add- get a good dog, and paint your mailbox blue. Love- David
I remember that comic strip - the guy is a genius. Thanks for sharing that today.
