more of a meddler....

My spouse and I were trying couples counseling, so here we were trying to work on things and she was continually adding fuel to the fire with her comments and suggestions. She is terrible at returning phone calls and keeping you informed, but it was like once she thought we might not need her servic...es, she then instigated issues. Just terrible!! This was not just our life she was adding fuel to, this was our children's as well!! Very unprofessional in my opinion. My spouses attorney was all for us working things out and rather encouraging for the benefit of our children.
