The W just got back from the C. I am not going to ask how it went. If she volunteers that info, then fine. In fact, I am not asking her anything if I can help it. Business like, kind, but self protecting-- that is me now. It is just weird because I want to ask her certain things (not about the A, but just about everyday life stuff.) I feel like every time I ask her something, I am giving her a chance to feel needed by me. I don't want that.
This is her second visit to the C. I had called this C right after the I bomb dropped to see if she could provide us some MC. My W and I realized that there was no way my W was ready for MC. She needed to work some stuff out alone. Fair enough.
Well, once my W started to see the C alone, I asked the same C to see me alone. The word I got from my W today is that the counselor doesn't want to do that. The C thinks it will be a conflict of interest. She only wants to see my W, or my W and me together. The C referred me to one someone else in her practice.
