You're welcome @ greenacres.
Once a teacher, always a teacher...a calling. I taught in the public school setting as well as at the college level within the area of exceptional children.
I'm always on the lookout for finding methods and strategies that offer people a way to succeed. I would rather accentuate the positive and acknowledge the negative in order to problem solve. So, I understand the reservations you have had to reach out to others.
Surround yourself with nourishing people and take care of yourself. Encourage your husband to take advantage of the "good" moments and work together as a team--reliable alliances.
