I agree with Mohegan, this pisses me off too but also...confuses me. where do people get off being so...judgemental....?
Ok, I have a question....If you are seeing a therapist, aren't they supposed to keep your converstaions private and not disclosed to anyone unless it's potentially hazardous to your health or the health of someone else? (i.e. you make a threat that you are going to commit suicide or you threaten to kill the mayor or something) If so, then I would, as you are letting her know you are parting ways, let her know you intend to inform the medical board of her transgressions. I mean, you don't want her to be doing something that she's not supposed to be doing right?
Excellent question, and I have no idea. Which is why I asked that same question (or at least very CLOSE to the same) in the first sentence of my reply.Is a therapist bound by the same rules/laws as psychiatry?
LOL Ditto!damnit...I broke my own rule about not posting pre morning coffee...
my mistake
In Canada, therapists (and everyone else for that matter) are required by law to report cases of child abuse or endangerment to the MCFD (Ministry for Children and Families). So by the letter of the law, the therapist would be doing nothing wrong by reporting this "child endangerment" but obviously the therapist is forcing her own morality on a situation that she really doesn't know enough about. I think this law sucks in that it allows close minded people the protection of the law in situations like this.
Is what wrong? It's really dependent upon who you ask, regardless of exactly what you are asking about. Different people have different ideas of right and wrong.so i ask this....is it wrong?
This is a question no one can really answer for you. For me-there is no way I would even try. BUT-I have assessed the risk WHERE I LIVE and concluded that the risk is worth the honesty with my children.for the sake of the children are we forced to keep our polyamourous selves closet form our own children?
Define healthy? See again-this is something that different people have differeing ideas on. For example-I really feel that the HEALTHIEST eating habits would be vegan/whole/fresh/raw foods. I don't actually eat that way-more and more each year, but not there yet.does polyamoury foster an environment which is not healthy?
has anybody else encountered these issues?

Do you feel that a household in which the parents have divorced and remarried is inherently unhealthy for the children and that they should be removed from it? Even though the children are aware that their father and mother are in love (and or sleeping with) people other than each other?
Do you feel that a household in which one or more parents is single and dating is inherently unhealthy for the children and that the children should be removed from their dating parent? Even though the child is aware that their parent is seeing prospective partners - perhaps even more than one?
Do you feel that a household in which a parent is married and remarried several times is inherently unhealthy and that the child should be removed from the situation? Even though the child is aware that their parent has loved many people over the course of his or her lifetime and that the other adult figures in their life have changed more than once?
Do you feel that having had an affair should disqualify you from having custody of your children in the event of a divorce? Do you feel that if one parent or the other has an affair and the parents choose not to get divorced, that their children should then be taken from them?
Do you feel that it is healthier for a child to grow up knowing that their parent's love is lasting and permanent (even if they also love other people) or for their parents to split up if one of them sleeps around or they fall for someone else?
