I hope that this board is able to help you, even if it is with a reading eye and understanding responses.
I understand how you feel about support when in our situation. I think that although seemingly irrational, perhaps your wife may be able to help you more than you think. Perhaps if you communicated with her in exactly the same way, and telling her exactly the same things that you shared with your friend, may be she could understand better and provide the understanding and companion ship that you search. She will make recommendations that are incorrect. However, we, you and I, know that it is very difficult for someone that is not a sufferer to understand, thus not her fault, but yours, as well as mine when I fail to convey to those around me how I really feel, or how "it" feels. I see it this way: Aren't we (the Clusterheads) just as misunderstanding when we do not understand those that do not understand our condition?
Just something to ponder on...
Miguel.
