To clarify, I didn't say he did need help I said it may be a possibility that he is not aware of that he may need it to a degree. To be quite honest getting help of that sort doesn't have to be looked upon as a negative thing. Really, anyone who has been a former (COG) member would probably tell you that after talking to s "shrink" you'd be amazed how much better you feel, seriously. It is a shame that we often equivalate that option of "help" in such a bad light when although it has it's flaws it can also be positive and benficial in many ways. It can play a big part in at least putting the past behind you and help move on a little in one's life, something it appears that Sam has been unable to do. However I do appreciate your point and understand where you are coming from. Often the initial response to an attack can be delivered with less tact and wisdom than would be ideal. For the record I did not mean my statement to be altogether negative, if it did appear that way I do apologise. Thank you for your views.
