Barb,

I like your attitude. Looks like you are ready to fight.

I had a hard time telling my 12 year old but they have to know at some time. I took him to the center I was being treated at to see where I was going all the time. That helped.

Take some time to view as many posts here as you can. I did when I started and it helped me tremendously. There are some scary stories here but also some fantastic tales of personal courage.

Ask us anything you want. Someone here will have an answer for you.
