I'm also working on home treatments, DBT, meditation and such but I feel like I need to slink and sneak around because my husband looks at meditation as something to be made fun of and now I'm paranoid about it. I can't do this without any help, or at least a minimal amount of understanding anymore. Money is too tight for ongoing therapy right now but I can afford this and if it will help gain that understanding or at least the willingness to read and learn, it will be infinitely worth it. And also, I don't qualify for any "free help"...I make too much money. I guess working an average of 50+ hours a week was good for something.

It's too bad your husband is so invalidating.Meditate whenever he isn't at home.
