[QUOTE="RN0441, post: 749566, member: 15032"] Good thread. I struggled with this as well. I am a very open person and my husband is private. I wanted to and [I]needed to [/I]talk about it so I chose going to a therapist as groups made me feel worse and more burdened. I know for some it is key but we are all different. I fortunately have some good friends I was able to talk to and they were sympathetic but didn't know much about all of it; nor did I. It helped to have some support but I was looking for facts because that is how I approach everything. Of course that didn't help either. I find myself in a bit of a pickle now when people ask. We moved to a new state for my job which was perfect timing actually. When son got out of his program in Memphis I told him to tell people he meets here that he just moved here from Memphis. No one really asks what he was doing there and he hasn't shared. I have not shared either except with one friend at work that used to work as a coach along with her husband at Celebrate Recovery (go figure). She is very understanding and knowledgeable and I do feel our meeting was divine intervention. I think we all have to do what we are comfortable with and what helps [B]us[/B]. [/QUOTE]
