When he got his first appt with a counselor, I went with him. I always drive him to and from the appt. because sometimes they are really rough on him. I go in if he asks me to. I always bring a book. We're trying to get him in with a new psychiatrist who 'specializes' in PTSD and is starting a new PTSD clinic for the Iraq/Afghanistan vets. I think those appts he will go to himself. He is refusing to go to group right now.
