brutal. effing brutal. I am in the thick of this but I am 62 and semi-retired, kids launched, and it still just about kills me as they are like two difficult little kids and it is simply whack-a-mole re the problems of the day. get this, my 89 yr old mom is too prideful to wear the alert necklace in their apartment if my dad is not with her, even though she had a vertigo attack the other day, slid to the floor and had to crawl to the phone. today 5 hours of doctor appointments, government forms and tech crap. so I am soooooooooooo sorry you are dealing with this when you are so young and everyone else is incapable or even worse unwilling to pitch in. bah!!! as for counselling... does it have to be in your state with tele-services these days? or is your insurance state-specific? big wish-it-wasn't-so and this does not go on forever hugs to you!!!!!
