> Fortunately for me, I live alone with my mom. She is ALWAYS supportive and she is honest with me over discussions I have with her over my treatment and my recovery. I know she will always love me. You, on the other hand, are talking about your husband. If I were in your shoes, I could understand where you might not trust him to share your treatment. But I think if you want him to understand what is going on with you and be supportive, you should at least try to level with him. As it stands, he understands nothing, and that possibly puts you on the defensive. If it doesn't work, then don't try to share again. But at least try once. Pick a good, quiet time when you have his full attention. NOT when he's holding the remote control. Also, if it doesn't work with your husband, and you need to share with someone, I highly recommend your mother, if possible. Hope this helps. -- Dee

Talk about therapy with your mother?!! An awful lot of people are IN therapy because of their mothers!
