I've taken my husband with me from time to time. It demonstrates to my pdoc that things are really bad, or that I can't communicate something clearly to her, or that I need corroboration on a point. But it took years for me to be able and comfortable to bring anybody to my pdoc with me.

My first husband was a butthead; I took him to show that fact, not to support me. My current husband goes to support me. You see, taking someone with you can be for any number of reasons!
