I so disagree that everything should be left to the professionals,so every time one has a problem do you go seek professional advice, i think not, usually you ask advice from those closest to you, whether they be family or friends, and you may even come here to PT or another board you belong to,as i said before life experiences mean a whole lot to me.

And as for Marigold being picked on, personally that is what i do see in nearly every thread she posts by the same people, anyhow that is how i see it,end of.

Monica you and you alone are the only one here who knows your two friends,if you are comfortable with what you have said and being there for them,then that is all that really matters, i wish them well, and i think it is good that they have someone who loves them as much as you do.
