Somewhere I heard that the best two days in life: buying a boat and selling a boat.

I love my pool and get very wistful when I have to close it up for the season. I count down the months until I can swim again.

Do you "want" to sell your boat?
I've bought and sold several. Right now canoes and kayaks are all I do... .

FWIW, my h was in therapy for nearly 2 years. They were meeting monthly for the first year and a half, then his T managed to get him to consent to let her talk to me to "see how her therapy was helping him." It seems that she wanted to find out about my divorce plans; I said I didn't have any and hadn't said anything to h about divorce, even in jest. He said that she thought that he had "emotional lability on a personality level... ." They started having sessions every couple of weeks for a couple of months, then he was stopped.
More recently, after the major dysregulation episode, he saw another counselor (because he didn't think that the first one was really effective, the new one was not specifically Christian). He went about 6 times, then quit because he was feeling better. This time, they thought an "attachment disorder".
He hasn't been dx'ed with anything other than major depression.
From what I understand from my counselor-type friends and my own training, licensed mental health professionals need written consent from their patients to discuss and/or receive information from others regarding patients.

Well then I'm a blabbermouth. I've had no trouble passing on information to therapists and health care providers.
I think of it in that I'm not violating HIPPA guidelines if I tell health care professionals information about their patients without wanting them to share anything with me.
Years ago I called my boyfriend's daughter's therapist because I was concerned that she was acting out very inappropriately and thought there might be sexual abuse from her grandfather and that no one else was talking about this. (A very difficult decision, but the therapist welcomed my info.)
Then I spoke to my husband's doctor, telling her that he was mixing his Ambien with his Norco and drinking. (She also welcomed the info.)
Then as I mentioned, I spoke with my husband's Psychologist and he was also very receptive.
