Dexter - have you ever given a thought about going back to school and becoming certified (not certifiable!) as a therapist? Lots of different paths to that paper trail. The advice you give here is so good and has helped so many, many people that I feel you would be awesome. Certainly, everything I have read from you sounds like it came from the mouth of my T. There are social work counselors who work with him without having to go all the way to a PhD. I am so very, very sorry about your financial situation and wish there was something we all could do besides give you our love and virtual support. Please take care of yourself for all of our sakes.
