I definitely think therapy would be beneficial, whether it's solo therapy for him or marital counseling.
Funny, he is a bassplayer and a drummer! Something has clicked a switch, and even our friends notice it. We are scheduled for conjoint therapy, AGAIN, and that therapist has asked him to get a solo therapist, but he has not moved on that. We all know how we can go into denial that NOTHING is wrong with us...I am in therapy weekly again, and I am finally going to conquer my demons! I am determined! He can heal himself or not. I have a daughter to raise and an obligation to her to raise her responsibly with or without him!
