I understand that Augusten felt that there was a stigma against him because he was gay, but that fact that he was living with a psychologist must have been helpful. The description Augusten gives of the Doctor's home creates a nice supplement to the details of Dr. Finch's personality and gives the reader a deeper insight into the mind of this complex character. While I believe it was impossible for Dr. Finch to absolve all of Augusten's issues, he certainly could circumvent quite well. His unique style of parenting and general honesty/openness with not only his children, but Augusten as well, led to an openminded household and environment for Burroughs to grow up in. While I may find his tactics to be a bit amorphous and even odd, I cannot deny his skills as a powerful, guiding light in Augusten's life.
I'm not sure why I entitled this blog post the way I did, but I love Johnny Depp and the fact that he was in a movie with 'scissors' in the title (so naturally he managed to seep into my blog).
