Thank you both for your kind words. We ARE going to see a new therapist, a man  , but we protectors think he will be able to help us deal with things better. We have read and re-read his profile numerous times, and we think there is something there that is worth trying to get help from him. We have asked our case manager to be with us the first time we meet him, since we know her and trust her judgment somewhat. It is difficult for us to even contemplate cooperation right now. Our therapist wanted us to do the "I" word, and it really freaked everyone out! We can't even begin to say how much that scares the bejeebers out of us. 
What we do know is we are so close to a total breakdown that it scares even us as protectors. We aren't sure what to do, or if we should be doing something other than what we are currently doing which is not much. Do we go inpatient? Do we retreat into the house and not go out? Do we quit going to ch-rch and home group? Do we...sigh. Being a protector isn't such a great job. A necessary one, to be sure. But so stressful. I'd give anything to get a little bit of sleep. Last night we only got 2 hours of sleep. And now the other protectors are off trying to keep inner peace and stability going, so I am here, trying to keep the outer peace thing going. It isn't working so well. I will take you at your word when you say it will get better than this. I don't see it, but hope it can be true for us.
