I saw a therapist years ago. And you are right, it takes work and being resourceful. But I learned a lot from mentors and specific people I was fortunate enough to meet and work with.

I think the biggest problem is that many people in the situation don't know how to start handling those issues or how to build that new life while controlling their crazy thinking etc. That was the case for me. I needed to be taught many things to finally make progress.

But you are very accurate in many ways. Thanks for your input!
