Have I mentioned

How much I LOVE my therapist??  I do!  She's awesome!  I shared with her my thoughts about our marriage counselor yesterday and she said well, "I wasn't going to say anything about it as long as you were feeling positive about the experience, but..."  She totally confirmed what I was feeling in that he is NOT the right therapist for us!  I was beginning to wonder if I just wasn't going in with an open mind because of how negative I was feeling about H.  But she completely agreed with me and said that she has heard the same sentiment from other people who have used the same marriage counselor! What a relief to know it's not all in my head! 

I also shared my plan with her for leaving and she agreed with me and even gave me a referral for a lawyer! I'm going to call him and talk to him later this week. 

She said my timeframe is very reasonable and she supports my decision to use that time to get some financial ducks in a row because once I leave, anything that is going to require H's cooperation is going to be a gigantic hassle! 

I left that appointment feeliing the best I've felt in YEARS!  I'm feeling pretty darn good today! Ready to take on the world!

Re: Have I mentioned

  • Good! Now hang on to that. Remember it so when you start to feel low or weak you can call the feeling back.
  • The world is your oyster. Good luck. You can do it!
    I agree with everything that muddled said. You should listen to her. -ESDReturns
  • I got another ego boost this morning too!  So, since I'm feeling good, I have to toot my own horn a little...

    When I went to the hospital almost 2 years ago to have DS, I weighed in at a staggering 289 pounds!  EmbarrassedI weighed myself this morning and imagine my shock when the scale said 174! Surprise That's what I weighed when I got married!  No wonder it takes me so long to find something decent to wear to work in the morning!  I think I have earned a new outfit! 

  • Yes I now love your therapist too!

  • I think my favorite part was the face she made when I told her that H asked if he could come to my counseling appointments so he could "hear what is going on".  Umm...  Controlling much?  Her response was "only an idiot would make such a request in your situation."
  • He asked to sit in on your personal counseling sessions???? I don't care if he miraculously calls the anger management doc (which I still think he might, but never actually GO), you need to leave him. I feel like a broken record, but he keeps giving you reason after reason to leave!

    Your H could write the most thorough book on how to be the biggest douche ever. 

    I'm so glad counseling is going well for you and I'm so happy that its helping you realize how strong you are and how much your H doesn't deserve you!

  • It's mindboggling, isn't  it?  I can't even begin to think of what would make him think that it would be ok for him to "tag along".  I laughed at him and said "um, no." 

    I also stopped telling him when my appointments are scheduled for because I get tired of him asking me what we talked about and if we talked about him.
