Mine didn't even escort me to the hospital. He just told me to go to the ER if I didn't think I could control the urges and was in danger. I of course didn't go. I can't think of a circumstance that I'd be that sure I was in danger.

If you are waiting for him to understand without your telling him, you'll be disappointed I'm afraid. I not only have to tell my therapist how I'm feeling and how things are affecting me, but explaining it to him feels like greco-roman wrestling. It's a constant battle to pin it down in words and then convey it to him in a way he can understand. Sigh. Sometimes it seems like more trouble than it's worth. But if I didn't struggle with it, he wouldn't have the slightest clue.

It's not just that he's from mars and I'm from venus. It's more like we're different species from different galaxies. I may be carbon based, but I'm pretty sure he's silicon based.

Sigh.
