Pillars Can't Falter

Over at T Revival, Lori asks the age-old question, where is the support for our spouses? It's certainly not at home...it really can't be. Like we've taken to saying around these parts, you can't be the shelter and the storm.
If you could be the shelter, though, this is what it might look like:
Disclaimers: I'm not an expert in the field of counseling, in case anyone was wondering. I don't offer this to browbeat the trans-community by pointing out what they're (we're!) doing wrong, but rather to show how really, really hard it is for us to be the support our spouses need. Finally, the below list is far from comprehensive; I may add to it, subtract from it, or revise over time.
