Janyce,
Thanks for your comments. I have now been waiting for a year for therapy so I think I am just now getting over anxious as they can't tell me when it will start but aparently it is imminent. I am also getting very anxious about what my therapist will be like but I have taken note of your comments. I've just heard so many horror stories!!! I do go to a group for abused women and it has helped some but has also hindered others. Thanks again.
