Chris,

I have to agree with GEL, it sounds like it was a good convo. Your W was willing to admit that there are problems, that she doens't feel well, and she knows she needs help in dealing with them. I too know all too well how hard it is to take that first step. Sometimes even the second, third, forth...I know it would be much easier if I knew there was someone who cared about me watching over me. Not pushing, but just there with a steadying hand when I reached out for it.

Be there for her, be strong without pushing (and if you figure out where the line is, let me know, huh? ) and keep at it.

Good luck. It looks like you two are on a good course. I hope it only gets better for you!!
