Start of the long and bumpy road........

Jen,

The session went ok....it was filled mainly with bringing the C up to speed and discussion some of my objectives. I actually tend to agree with my W a little bit, though I think it has been mainly a communication problem for me. I don't seem to speak her language sometimes. She says I am controlling and that I think all of her ideas are bad. I don't feel that way and I don't want to control her, so I feel I need to find a better way to express any cocerns I might have to her without frustrating her. I also think I need to work on my conflict resolution skills a bit.

Part of the hard part for me is that my W tend s to be her won worst enemy and tends to get herself in predicaments that ultimately make her feel trapped (particularly in financial deals). A lot of times I can see this and have been unsuccessful in discussing them with her which results in her making the decision out of spite. It causes me sadness because I don't to see her get into these situations and the stress that results.
