This is to
James from r.anne,
I don't think it is being wise to predict this outcome as it is very negative and it tends to blame, too. A person who is severely depressed does not need this reproach. I felt bad reading it and it wasn't for me but I relate to her as I've been through this and, for me, it did not come out as you are predicting. I needed to voice this and I hope I did not offend. r.anne
