Hey :) i just wanted to check in and see how things were going. any luck finding a counselor you're comfortable with?

Re: **Summerwaldo**

  • Hello!  Well we haven't made an appointment yet, but we have found someone that we would like to meet with.  She specializes in couples counseling and has GLBT experience, so hopefully she'll work out.  I'm really nervous about it, because our last experience was really hard, the counselor was harsh and almost kind of punishing.  We would leave our sessions absolutely bawling! 

    On the up side things have been better.  We had sort of a "state of our union" talk last week, and we're trying to be more respectful of each other.

    I'm kind of struggling right now because my parents are getting divorced after 31 years.  It's really disenchanting because they've always been this ideal couple, and I put their marriage on such a pedistel.  Even though my parents aren't perfect they've stood by eachother through thick and thin.  Myy mother is this completely different person; she's turned into this horrible monster.  She's been cheating on my Dad for months and she's trying to wring him dry of all his money and earthly posessions.  She even stole his viagra!  She's become manipulative and mean and I feel like I've lost her, it's almost like she's died.  I refuse to speak to her, but she's always on my mind.  It makes me sad.  I talk to my Dad all the time and everytime I talk to him he's sadder and sadder.  It's just a painful situation for everyone. 

    Bleh, sorry!  I don't mean to be such a downer on the first day of spring!  Hopefully the Seattle clouds will clear and it will be a beautiful day. :-)
  • dont apologize - i asked how you were doing b/c i want to know! i'm really thrilled that you found someone, i think it'll be a very positive experience for you considering how much you have on your plate.  and huge kudos to you for recognizing when you need help and seeking it out....thats definitely not a small thing!

    you're previous counselor sounds awful - i promise they are not all like that. i forsee many sunny days to come for you :)
