I know a lot of therapists. My dad, several of parents' friends growing up, many relatives (I have at least 10 second- and third degree relatives who are T's, pdocs, SW's etc), several friends and several people I deal with professionally are therapists. Drawing on this fairly large number, I can say that they are really just like everyone else. They are not better spouses or parents or friends than anyone else in their demographic. They don't have less mental illness, addiction, divorce or estrangement than anyone else.
