Rapuzel i completely agree..but i think i understand the relaplse thing..you see....forst off-all the %#@&#! has to come out..and also because of bad habbits of thining she is used to...it will continue lie this..progress relaplse progress relapse untill the progress overtakes the relapse-you probably knwo that...

i think such people DO need support and warmth and all of us with self asteem issue need to be told that we are fne over and over...and this may not help untill we get the cncept ourselves........

however..i agree again with Rapuzel that if you are nit a psychologist....you can`t help her and EVEN psychologist won`t help any1 who is not ready to help himself! but fomr what i understand she does make progress which is great.

she may have that "dependent personality disorder..and she may not... that is what psychologists are for..we may recognize it but still not cokpletely....there are so many "in between" issues there,,,,complicated.
