Are all Psychiatrists pompus jerks, or is it just me?

I have an ex-wife who absolutely defines the term passive-agressive. We went to councelling so that we (meaning I) could figure out how to deal with this without breaking up the family. When that did not work I went to the hospital because I was having severe nightmare over her manipulation of all things. During the divorce we had to see a shrink for the good of the child. After the divorce I started seeing someone who's daughter was a Psychiatrist. My ex-wife went out of her way to track this person down, spread all sorts of lies, and now my hates me based on the word of a total stranger.

My ex stole money from my bank, hid checks from my account, threatened to kill me and herself in front of witnesses and on an answering machine. She was prosecuted in another county for check deception. She has filed numerous false police reports, causing me time and effort through the legal system.

Update:

She was tested (as part of the divorce) and was shown to be clinically passive-agressive. I was shown to have non-violent severe depression. YET, all of the psychiatrists fell back on the standard: woman=good, man=bad

Are they all lazy jerks, or is it me?

Update 2:

I am not perfect, but I do not steal, I have not called the police on her when she was no where around me, I have not called her friends and relatives to try and spread lies, I have not threatened to kill her, and I have not told my daughter that "mommy is the reason that I have to work instead of cleaning the house while you are at school."

Update 3:

The jerk I was forced to pay for during the divorce was given the actual tape of her threatening to kill me and herself. The recording was never even in his report to the court.

    I do understand what you are stating.

    Many "therapists" fail to recognize their own baggage when dealing with clients, and often transfer/counter transfer their own personal BS to who they are working with .. it is a symptom to a large part they shouldn't be working with clients.

    In the US court system you can have your attorney place a NO contact restraining order on your ex, and if she violates it, she goes to jail.

    Well, I have never had much use for psychiatrists, and prefer a good pastor, who will counsel with the Bible as the "rule book".

    But, I had the opposite experience when I took my child to one. She said we should try again with my daughter's dad, so we tried, for about the 20th time, I've lost count. Finally, I had to do what I thought was best for my child, and myself.

    Sorry you have had such bad experiences, and sorry the person you started seeing was so ready to believe the worst. I guess you can count yourself lucky that you found out early, what type of a person she was.

    You didn't say how old your child was, but if you have the ability to get custody, I would do it, and move far away.

    nicely, for my section I certainly have enjoyed some cocky men earlier. It became into extra of a weigh down/hate-his-guts style of element that i'm no longer able to precisely clarify. yet those men weren't cocky all of the time, in simple terms whilst they have been with their acquaintances, frequently. I desire men with a humorousness; yet see, i'm comfortable, yet i'm additionally acquaintances with men so i understand they are being sarcastic or humorous. yet i would not label those men 'cocky'. some females like undesirable boys, and its so straight forward as that. females now and lower back go head-over-heels for a guy that may not something yet a d***. Its stupid, incredibly, yet it particularly is in simple terms the way it works now and lower back. Its no longer because of the fact the female is dumb or something like that (many of the time) yet she would not have her targets set suitable, except she particularly likes cocky men. wish this enables!!

    I've never heard of one who was compassionate and caring, so I agree with you.

    And I'm sorry for all you've been through. She certainly put you through the ringer. I hope you can find some peace and comfort out there somewhere. No one deserves to have utter chaos tossed into their lives unless they choose it for themselves. Here's hoping tomorrow will be better......

    It's not you. How your child must suffer. If you're new girlfriend would believe the stories spread to her daughter about you then best you move on to someone else. Good luck.

    It's probably 50/50 ! I noticed you didn't include any of YOUR bad antics, or faults. How would a perfect person like yourself get hooked up with such a bad person, in the first place ?
