Leland "Chip" Baggett, M.A., LPC, AHP Co. President:  Until I was eleven years old my life seemed pretty simple, happy, safe and not particularly remarkable. I was the youngest of three children. I adored my parents and felt utterly secure in their love for me. So it was a complete surprise to discover that their relationship with each other was strained and in crisis. When I was in the sixth grade they went through an emotionally volatile divorce. In the intensity of their anguish, they each maintained their own version of the problems and circumstances that led to the end of their marriage. Initially, this was confusing to me. Not only were their versions of what happened in stark contradiction to each other’s, but also their depictions of each other as persons was not at all consistent with my experience of either of them.
