I was able to share with my partner what the treatment plan was.

What I was able to do, was I was able to share

with my partner what the treatment plan was.

I was able to bring him into the VA with me

and we came up with a plan.

He was real clear that this might take some years for me

to get back on my feet and it did, you know.

But I had his support and I didn't have

to lose my partner in the process.

So we did a little couples therapy kind of thing

and I spent quite a few years in my robe,

not going to any softball games with my kids

and he became Super Dad.

But then, I got it together and today I go to games and I get

to participate in my own life and my children's lives.
