he doesnt really think we need to but i guess i need some answers.
Patti my H and I went to MC when he came home last time (at my insistence). At the time we both felt we got a lot out of it. I actually wanted to continue for longer but H felt we wer through the worst. Also we had scheduled some family therapy with the same provider and they don't like you to be in two types of session at once and like you to have a 6 week break from finishing one to starting another. In retrospect it was a HUGE mistake not continuing on with MC b/c I now know that no sooner had we finished than H started with his roving eye again! We also never ended up going to family therapy either b/c things in that dept had improved as well. Again big mistake. I now know (but I don't think H will ever admit) that our D17 was in fact our 'thermometer' for the M. The reason we wanted family therapy was b/c she was such a difficult child. Exit H (and hence all the 'unseen' problems) and she becomes a different child. Our changes didn't last long enough b/c they weren't enforced for long enough by those trying to teach them to us.
