Hi Nathan and thanks for the link. I checked it out and have found some very useful stuff. Because of where we live, attending Retrouville is not possible for us. Lawrie has a way to go in turning himself around and for me it is important that he puts in the effort and work required by himself and for himself. It is impossible for me to leave him to his own devices to do this so I point him in the right direction with reading and articles from wherever I can find them. I have pointed him at this forum as well in the hope that he will find some support in his personal journey. Once he has reached the stage of coming from the same direction as me, we will be able to work on this together and that is the day I am looking forward to and hoping will happen. His work separates us for alternate 28 days so he has plenty of time by himself to work on this without family pressures.

Thanks again for your help.

Jo
