Hi, We started very slowly when we decided to become friends. (It is really against state policy). We use the same library and I met her there. She asked me over for coffee. We have since been out for lunch and dinner. She finds it hard to come to my house. (perhaps a home court advantage type of thing), but I again went to her house. It was very awkward at first so we discussed why. I felt that she had the power because I felt as though she was still my therapist. We talked about our relationship being mutual and that she did not have power. It has become easier to go out together and much easier to call her on a chit chat basis. This has taken about 6 months. She is a much happier person than I am and therefore good for me. I am usually depressed so I really do not know what she is getting out of the friendship...she is getting something though...She has said so. Take it slow and do not expect too much at first. I found most problems resolved themselves. Good luck...go slow...enjoy everything. terrics
