Guest guest Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 When I was a kid my nada was a therapist! She was also a juvenile probation officer for awhile. Even more ironic is that she specialized in drug abuse therapy (she has a drug problem), children & teens, and personality disorders! She was pretty high functioning then, but she took on way too much work (it's all or nothing with every part of her life) and had a nervous breakdown 15 years ago and hasn't worked since, besides breeding dogs and cats. She's wanted to lately, but she has no license anymore, refuses to go to school to get another one, and has criminal records (when I was a teen we fought pretty bad and had the cops called on us) that don't allow her to work with children. This doesn't stop her from babysitting her friend's kids though.... > > What do your nadas do for a living?
