[tri-wings] advice please...

funny how things work.  i know so many people in my real life, but when  
serious problems come up, i always think of asking for the collective wisdom of 
my online friends.  any colbeert fans out there?  you guys just "get it".
here is what happened to me yesterday:
i went to my shrink yesterday to get my meds updated. i have been being 
"treated"  for depression for what seems like gazillions of years, before 
tyler's life and loss. i have always thought she was a bit of a nut job 
herself, but that is only my opinion.  she is a big fan of just throwing meds 
at every issue and i am not.  

picture this: she asks how are my stress levels lately.  i tell her high 
because 1) we have a new granddaughter, born six weeks early, ng tube, 
elongated head, etc and it brought us back a couple years to tyler's birth 2) i 
am working on some issues with a social worker regarding shame/past abuse 
issues and 3 ) it was the first angel day for rebecca, a wonderful girl and i 
was feeling awful for her parents and family, reflecting on the trisomy 
funpark, etc

she said, "oh.  feeling bad for them?  how is your son doing?" well, was i 
taken aback.  

a few of you have met me and you may have noticed i am usually quick with 
words, rarely stumped by such things.  12 years in jail prepared me for almost 
anything, i must say. i was so flabbergasted i simply said, " well, he is dead. 
 he died at four months of age.  i believe we have discussed this."

now, my dilemma.  she has plunged me into a pretty heavy crying jag/feeling bad 
time.  i want to write her a note explaining things to her.  how 
counterproductive her approach is, would it kill her to read her notes before 
seeing a client, etc.  what do any of you willing to weigh in think?  would you 
address her alone, report her to her governing body,  something else?  she 
could damage so amny people, it makes me worry.  she sure has put my week in 
the toilet, i can tell you. i know we are not supposed to swear in our posts, 
but damnit, i am an angry woman. what the hell was this dr. thinking?

thank you for listening,
