Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.Where I live the majority is Hispanic. Here saying that you are going to a therapist to get help is not common either, all they say here is to pray whatever is bothering you. I come where the majority is also Catholic and all your problems will be resolved with prayer, so yes, no one understands.
