I tend to think that those kinds of people no longer feel the need to sit and participate on an online forum such as this and that is the reason we do not hear their side of the story.
I plan on writing a book when all of this is 'over', if it has really helped me in the way I think it will,in the way it is starting to. I had so much trouble finding personal accounts of the type of therapy I was looking for when I needed it.

The first time I went through therapy, I was in college. After getting through to the other side, I had the ability to see when relationships were incredibly unhealthy. I made new friends who did not just want something from me. I met my husband and married him, and am still married to him. My life and my relationships improved dramatically from where they were when I started therapy.
This second time, it has been rougher in the process. Although I am not 'done,' my relationships are better again. My husband and I are closer and more loving and I am less fearful of letting him know some of the deep, dark things I have hidden all my life.
