Just a brief overview: I have been seeing this therapist for over a year, with some very good results. The past weeks we went from weekly to biweekly.

Four weeks ago my girlfriend (Melissa) fell out of my truck while we were having a fight after she smacked me in the head with a glass bowl. I was charged with 3rd degree domestic battery as was she.
