Um, hello? *pokes his head in*

*looks over and smiles* Hello... I'm Dr. Bannister. And you..?

*walked in with Harpuia after meeting him, glances briefly over at Iceman's still shut door, and then goes back to his office and paperwork, waving bye to Harpuia*

Um, my name is Harpuia, and a friend said I should come here to *cough* "register a complaint."

[nexus-cps.livejournal.com]

I see. Please have a seat if you'd like, Harpuia...

((her office is small, but there are a couple other chairs in there, a couple signs on the wall, a pile of pictures and postcards on a bulleten board sent by kids from previous cases (soem of whom are really unusual kids... even some dragonlets in there... hey, this is multiverse division ;) ), and a shelf of books on child psychology, abuse, and dysfunctional families))

Um, okay. *sits down and fiddles with his thumbs* I've been watching your cases with the Wily "children." Never really thought that we, um, "robots" could be called "abused."

*looks down and sees a drawing* Is this from one of the kids you helped?

We don't discriminate based on species or origin here...

*looks at the picture and smiles* Yes, one of the cases from a year or so ago. Some of them keep in touch for some time...

Um, I guess you could say I was abused as a child. I don't want him to get in trouble though.

I see... Are you still living with this person?

[wise-wings.livejournal.com]

Currently, I'm living with an alternative version of him. He hasn't hurt me though, the alternative version I mean.

*nods* That can happen between universes... including in our current case.

What is it you'd like to talk about, Harpuia?

[wise-wings.livejournal.com]

I was wondering, since he, um, ignored me when I was younger, am I using Mega as a crutch to get the affection I was denied younger?

[nexus-cps.livejournal.com]

It's true that a lot of people who have been through neglect situations can have codependancy issues later on... It's hard to say if that's the case with you and Mega...

If you really care for the other person, and they do for you, there's nothing wrong with pursuing a relationship. But you may want to take things slowly and give yourself time to be sure of what you're feeling.

[wise-wings.livejournal.com]

Okay. Thank you very much.

*smiles a bit, reaches in a drawer* Here, this might answer some of your questions... *hands him a little booklet (http://www.ksu.edu/counseling/csweb/topics/relationships/dysfunc.html#OVERCOME%20THE%20EFFECTS)*

And if you neeed any help, my door is always open...
