Our first counselling session
Things have been absolutely wonderful since I came back last Tuesday. Honeymoon phase maybe, but I am still enjoying it!
Went to see the counsellor on Wednesday. I can't say we made any 'progress' 'cuz it was our first session so it was more paperwork and background info (like what brought us there) than anything else. She wanted to try and work the kids in next time but we told her we wanted to try and fix some of OUR problems before we started trying to fix the kids too. HE said we needed to start having a united front with the kids rather than a divided front. Said the kids would bombard him with Beth this and Beth that. Which is where he got the idea that I hated his kids, etc. etc. etc. Said he's recently realized that he can tell the kids to do something and they hop right up and do it. I can do the same thing, in the same tone of voice and they look at me like I'm stupid. Anyway, I definitely think this is going to help.
Yesterday was my birthday and he was really great. Made me remember why I married him. This is the guy I like.
Just thought I'd let you know. I'll keep you posted!
Have a great day! I'm picking up my boys today so all is right in my world....for a little while.
YEAH!!! What a great feeling! It's nice that he's coming to that realization of CHANGE...
Einstein once said, "It's a form of insanity to think that you'll have a different result with the same approach."
Amen, brother Einstein...
Good luck and keep us informed of the progress!!
That's great,Beth! What a promising start!
glad to hear it went good. When Dh and I had our counseling at the beginning of our marriage that is one thing she did (the history of our lives) to see where we got our habits and such from. Sounds like this counselor is really going to help. Good Luck this next week. Take it day by day, that is what we had to do anyway, so you don't loose respect for each other.
