I have a question, but this probably may not be in your expertise. However, let me ask it anyway.

Dear Counseler,

I have tried to find a wife, or a pair that would adopt me, with no luck. How would I find a family to take me in, or convince a NS woman to marry me?

Yours Truly,

Lonely Boots
Dear Lovely Boots,

Finding a family to take you in is a pretty simple affair. I was lucky enough to witness a recent family induction ritual where a new member was admitted into the family by a combination of runes, blood magic, and lots of really cool sounding words that were likely Pig Latin. I mean, nothing that you and your friends can't put together on a typical Tuesday night.

As for convincing a NS woman to marry you, it is important to understand that which is never understandable - the female mind. You can get some insight about women in NationStates in this lovely Mixlr discussion between confirmed NS females: Mousebumples, Astarial, and NeeNee here - Women in NationStates. Generally though, being a gentleman is preferred.

Best of luck,

Dr. Trinn

Dear shrink,

I have been in search of a potential bride. I am a Pharaoh with an unmistakable charm and, if I do say so myself, hot as hell. I have had no luck. Can you point me in the right direction?

Dear Festavo,

Have you considered maybe a husband? There's a plethora of available men on NationStates. Of course, you may need to be willing to put up with individuals that wear jorts.

Just a suggestion,

Dear shrink,

My father made my older brother king of Alexandria instead of me. How do I get over my murderous thoughts?

Dear Not-Royal Plemby,

There are numerous benefits to not being King that you may not have realized yet. When you go to pick up a lovely barmaid at the nearest tavern, you can use lines like: "You ever want to see what it's like to be with a King? Well, I'm the King's brother so that's pretty close." or "My brother, the King, may hold the royal scepter but I can work a scepter better." Mostly though I suggest copious amounts of alcohol and plenty of visitors to your bedchamber. That usually distracts me pretty well.

Best wishes,

Dr. Trinn

Dear Counselor,

I am on the outside looking in. What's so great about being a part of a family anyways?

Dear Lady Loki,

It's all about the family reunions they have in Hawaii. I mean, you can't really argue against free trips to paradise.

Best wishes,

Dear Trinnien,

I fear that people find my obsession with sacrificing people, murder, espionage, position as minister of excommunication, wine, will to corrupt people's minds, and use of brainwashing people technology has made it hard for me to find a fool who will accept my hand in unholy marriage. What should I do?

Dear Anonymous,

Have you considered approaching an acolyte of the Great Old Ones? They may be a bit mad in the head, but it's likely you would find a lot in common. Of course, such a romance may be short-lived if the plans to let the Ancient Ones into our universe were to succeed. But hey, time is always fleeting, may as well enjoy what you can while you can.

Best wishes,

Dr. Trinn

Well, since we're on the subject of family counseling and we're all anonymous here, I thought I'd open up: I've been having some trust issues even since being abandoned at the tender age of nine. How should I deal with those?
Dear Anonymous,

Trust is something that is not easily earned, but can be easily broken. I often found that giving individuals small bits of insight (in other words, small extensions of your trust) as a starting point, is a good way to give yourself control over what is important/sensitive to you. It also tends to be not overwhelming or burdening to the individual you share it with, because placing a lot of trust in an individual that has not earned or is ready for it, can force them to shut down and retreat.

Basically, start small, and be forward that you don't trust easily. Mostly, just take your time and show patience in yourself and in those that you interact with.

Just a starting point,

Dr. Trinn

Dear Dr. Whatever,

My children are having children and their children are having children. Suddenly I see my pretentious hyphenated last name in signatures all over Europeia! I can't afford to buy Christmas gifts for all these new grandchildren, great-nieces, wife-sisters, and uncle-cousins! What can I do to keep my family happy at the holidays without going broke?

Sincerely,
Philoprogenitive Phil
