Detachment

A Woman without a voice

Sherry (not her real name) was brought to my office by her husband who had grown concerned that she wasn't herself lately. She didn't take care of the kids, she cried all the time and she wouldn't look at anyone. She didn't protest much just sat there wringing her hands and stuttering over her words especially when she was upset. It didn't take much to tell she was in a world of silent pain. He was a nice enough guy and it was very apparent that he had become increasingly concerned about her well being. He thought she might try to kill herself and he desperately wanted reassurance that she would be ok. I wasn't convinced that he was wrong.
