Thank you for helping....I was thinking that way...but was able to understand her pain and confusion. While I knew not to go into details...I wasnt sure if some disclosure would help. Life with real life people in pain is far different than class discussions. Part of the issue is I have worked with her for 2 years, through lots of ups and downs...successes and not so good moments. I am trying to get her into treatment with someone far more qualified, but she refuses. So for now...I am her support. Sometimes life just sucks...so thank you for your help.....
