on your thoughts and emotions. I remember a woman telling me that when she was in treatment, she despised her husband and wanted to end her marriage. However, given she was in treatment she took no action. Once it was over and the drugs were out of her system, it was like a fog lifted and everything was as it was before. You don't know how to react.

That said, he could not be in the press office after saying and doing what he did. I wish him the best. Time to move on.
