I think that's a great idea, Larry H, about starting a communication challenges group. I am learning myself through trial and error. You have articulated your position beautifully and I thank you for sharing your perspective. I realize that I can't stay stuck in my old ways and I have to relate in a new way to the different person my husband is now. Loss of abilities in one's self or a loved one is hard to face, but we must and try to do our best. All the best to you. TSC
