Hi Francea,

That's terrific, I am so happy you and your son are going for help, do

you like the counselor? That's a big part of it I think. Yes, the fact

that your hubby is curious about what goes on at the appointments is a great

sign. One of these days, I bet he will go with you. Men are less apt to go

to counseling I think then women, maybe if you present what goes on there in

a good manner he will come around. Meanwhile tons of prayers for you and

yours,

Hang in there girl,

Marta
