Thanks lac, every time I felt blue, I imagined all you had your arms around me, supporting me that weekend to be strong, to be noble, etc.
Yes, his reluctance to be there played a big part. He spent the first half of the weekend just "defending his need for a divorce". He started to open up and dialog during the second half.
Have not heard from him yet. I am "LRT" right now. HE can come forward if he wants to do the follow-up sessions. I am not dragging him anymore.
We did the weekend 3 hours away from home. I think he is not too eager to drive 6 hours in one day to do an afternoon session.
HOWEVER. We have a weekend starting locally in August. We can always go back and do their post-session. So he has a fall-back. They start in late August.
Time is my friend. Just letting him marinate for a while . . .while I go totally dark.
That weekend gave him a lot to process.
