YOU ARE NOT ALONE - A companion online community discussion board for The Mental Illness Happy Hour podcast with Paul Gilmartin

Does anyone else feel like their spouse is speaking & hearing a different language come out of their mouth? My spouse & I have so such trouble communicating, it's unbearably frustrating. I can say the simplest thing, & it gets completely misinterpreted, starting a fight. I'm so sick of m...
