He was a fill in for this week, he did his 5 week stint with the last lot... I'm hoping that next week I get the person I'm used to, she's lovely, that she can write on my file that I can't have a male due to my history and nobody else has to know.

@avant-garde very good plan - was gonna ask you if you wanted to do something along those lines. Even with perfectly good rapport, triggers don't always care, and might be best to just eliminate the risk entirely.

They're just final year students needing to get experience so they do outreach to local places to benefit the community and have a supervisor. They typically do 5 weeks and then there's a new group. 

There's 1 at the moment who is going to be with us until she's finished the semester, she's the one I get along with, she's really very good and super helpful and accommodating.

I was at my Thursday community group and I hit a nerve with a number of members and got verbally assaulted about my attitude. 

Content/trigger warning

I said I don't care about the pope. Just because he was leader of the Catholic church doesn't mean I have to like anything he represents. 
My opinion is of his position not him as a person.
So many people get it wrong, protestants are called protestants because we PROTEST against Catholics! 
You can't be Christian and half Catholic! I'm sorry but you can't! A house divided against itself cannot stand! 
I know Christians aren't all angels either and we both have done horrible things! Believe me I know! But I don't believe any living person should have the sway he had over any denomination!
I'm not glad he's dead, he was a person who did a lot of good in this world. I just don't respect the role of pope because there can be a lot of damage done with that kind of power. And if someone can change a belief within a religion then what does that do to the followers.

The berating itself was the trigger, to be verbally assaulted on a comment was not unfamiliar for me...

Content/trigger warning

my dad used to do it when I didn't perform like the customer wanted... that my opinion was wrong... my voice wasn't heard... and my life didn't matter...
