Smartcookie- I’m definitely davening!

Baalsechel-thanks

The little I know- I think there is a place for both therapists and Rabbonim in this kind of situation, and my husband has already spoken to his Rav, and we plan to speak also with a therapist.

Adams- I really don’t think there is substance abuse at this point, although he may be smoking cigarettes and drinking occasionally, perhaps just to experiment.
