Dr. Redash:
I wanted you to know the whole story of what happened before my wife started treatment with you…
It was a beautiful spring day last year when I woke up to find a letter sitting on the kitchen counter from my wife. The letter reads as follows:
“My darling man I am crying as I write this letter for I feel so ashamed of the way I been acting lately. The rages I’ve been having could be caused by depression so I will ask the doctor on my next visit. Please don’t distance yourself from me any more, for I need you more than ever. I promise you sweetheart I’ll try harder to be a better wife … the kind that will always love you!”
We were newly weds at the time and I thought I knew the woman I just married. Then a few months later is when all hell broke loose. How could the love of my life turn into such a disaster? No one really knows what it’s like to live in total despair until you’ve lived it!
I stared at the ceiling so many nights wondering what went wrong with our marriage? I was so embarrassed to tell anyone because everyone thought we were so in love, including me. I had
no answers.
Being a man I didn’t know which way to turn. I didn’t know a thing about menopause and what my wife was going through. I felt hopeless until Teri made us feel right at home and very comfortable when making our first appointment. During our initial visit you explained to us how menopause can effect women both physically and emotionally. This meeting was encouraging to me since I was blaming my wife for actions she couldn’t control.
When test results came back showing there was problems with her hormones, adrenals, and thyroids, I guess you could say she was a mess both physically and emotionally! Our first visit with you made me realize I should have been more supportive during those times when my wife needed me the most.
Having the woman of my dreams back made me realize it wouldn’t be possible without your professional help. I Truly believe we would have ended up in divorce if it hadn’t been for you and Teri. My wife and I will always share this story where ever we go in hopes to help others as the two of you have helped us.
Sincerely Grateful,
Jerry M.
