You will lots of support here. There are other's on this board that have been in an A, but found their way back. You may want to seek out Sandi who is in Newcomers and Piecing a lot.
What do you want? It sounds like you want to work on your M? If so, don't despair if the feelings aren't there. If your M has been so void of feelings/emotions/connections for so long, it will take awhile, and some serious work, to rebuild. BUT YOU CAN DO IT!
If you want to do counseling, make sure you find a pro-M counselor.
The first thing you need to do is to let go of the OM. You can't have 3 people in an R. You're going to need all your energy to work on your M, you won't have any to spare on OM.
Please seek out Sandi. I just posted to her thread on Piecing so I'll send her your way.
