My Father Kicked Me Into Our TV After I Let Marissa Slap My Daughter—Then the Device Hidden Inside It Revealed

Chapter 36 / 40
Chapter 36 - asking for help became something nora chose for herself
Nora continued counseling for one semester.
Not because I required it.
She chose.
That fact mattered more than I expected.
Marissa had tried to make professional help synonymous with removal.
Nora reclaimed it as a tool.
She changed counselors once.
The first one talked too much about her childhood before Nora wanted to.
Nora said:
“Not a good fit.”
No crisis.
No accusation that the counselor was dangerous.
She simply chose another.
The second helped.
That became the adult version of Laurel’s warning.
Listen to yourself.
Then verify.
Change course when needed.
Not every uncomfortable professional was Marissa.
Not every confident professional deserved automatic trust.
