MAN: Your former client, Marissa Baxter,
experienced infidelity in her relationship with her husband.
Did you encourage her to stay and work it out?
Infidelity is one of the hardest things
any couple can face in a relationship.
MAN: Even though her husband was a known abuser?
I would never counsel anyone to stay in a relationship
that was dangerous.
MAN: Would you say that you did your best work
with Marissa and Maxwell?
I wish that there was a different outcome.
Marissa was murdered by her husband in your offices
during one of your counseling sessions.
Maxwell stabbed his wife Marissa 20 times.
20 times. Tragic death by her husband.
20 times. 20 times.

I'm so sorry, but I can't do this shit anymore.
Marissa. Okay.
You shouldn't be here. This is not --
He's horrible. He's fucking horrible!
Okay. Please have a seat. All right? Just sit down.
Take a deep breath.
Now tell me, what did Maxwell do?
Everything. He fucking does everything.
I asked him to stop fucking these bitches in that house
because you said to create boundary lines.
I did. Yes. Boundaries are good.
Yeah.
Well, he fucking lost it.
He kept going on and on about how this was his house.
And how I can't tell him shit about doing whatever his house.
But you are upset about the cheating.
Yes, he's my husband.
Now, you do realize that him sleeping with other women
doesn't make him any less your husband.
Okay? We talked about this.
Yeah.
Well, it makes me feel like less of a wife.
Draya, don't give me that therapist bullshit.
We've been seeing you since before the wedding.
Listen.
You're right. I am your therapist.
And I -- I need to respect some lines.
Such just have a seat, please. Why don't you just sit down?
I'm sorry.
I just don't think I can keep dealing with them
cheating with these other women
and trying to vie for his attention.
I'm his wife!
You know what I mean?
I just --
I want to be happy, do shit for me.
If he wants them, and they want him,
then I'm going to have to leave him, Draya.
