Ya'll,
Seems like we MIGHT have a winner here! Had our first meeting, and things went pretty well. We are looking at once-weekly appointments. I hope that she decides to stick with it. It was an emotionally draining experience for her to say the least. The counselor said I was "right on" as to my evaluation of my wife's psychological disposition, but said that it was NOT GOOD to try to analyize her myself. Well, OK, I can see that, but it was good to have my feelings validated in some off-hand sort of manner. This could be a major change in our life direction if I can keep her going to the meetings, and if she applies what she "discovers" about herself and her interactions with me. Thanks to all for your concern and support. I can't believe it has taken me 8 years to get to this point. Hopefully, it won't take that long for us to move ahead. So much wasted time, so many wasted joys, so much suffering and pain. But I have to stay focused now on the present and the future, the "past" is just that.
Cheers,
PAX
