And look, I'm so glad that you have a hotline you can call. That's really good in a crisis. And I am all for talking to leaders in your community and friends who can help you navigate all of this. It's wonderful that you're surrounded by so many people. But none of those folks are a replacement for a proper therapist. They might be therapeutic.

There's a chance here to appreciate why your in-laws are handling Debbie the way they are, why you have the responses to them that you do, including, by the way, this anger that you feel toward them, which I think is very meaningful. Also to understand how your upbringing and your family and your patterns are playing a role in all of this.

to process the stress and responsibility of being a parent to a special needs child yourself, to appreciate how your experience with your son, like we said, might be informing your feelings about your in-laws, which by the way, I suspect is a much bigger part of your story than you might even realize.

And also just on a practical level, one of the big things you get to do in therapy is develop new skills for navigating difficult conversations with family, communicating with your wife about Debbie, and just generally to get clear on your role in this whole situation.

When to act, when not to act, what other resources you might need to care for a special needs family member, which is another area where a therapist can be super useful.

My sense is that this day at the house when Debbie took the pills is a window into a whole world of feelings and beliefs, experiences, history, family history that are all actually quite complicated. Symptom reduction is one great goal of therapy. It's important. It's not the only goal.
