Suzanne,

There is no way it can be easier to be the patient. I wouldn't wish this treatment on my worse enemy. You have to be so brave to get through each day!

Good for you that you finally see a therapist. It is really important to a have a safe place to vent and just be real.

Jeff saw a therapist once and he has a another appointment coming up. Unfortuataly our insurance is such that he is only seen every couple of weeks. He has joind a support group for now while he can get there.

Take care,

Vanessa
