We had a counselor. It was the best thing that could have happened.
Mike would go with me, cuz he thought it would help me. I would go with him so he could get help.
This counselor was so good, she played us like a couple of instruments in a orchestra!
Next thing we know, we're both learning things for ourselves, (just by accident you know wink , cuz we're just there for the other person!)

She made me aware of things that never would have occured to me. She also helped a lot with practical things. I wish we would have hooked up with her from day one!

The result of seeing her was we could talk to eachother in a much more meaningful way. A lot of the tension was removed.

We could go in to see her on our own, or together. We both still keep in touch with her. She's called Mike to talk with new patients that have similar diagnosis as his.

Go to the counselor.
