I completely agree. However, I said essentially the same thing word for word yesterday, and she kept repeating "we're here to talk about D12." She then said I may never get closure or whatever, and that is to be dealt with in IC. I don't know why this can't be dealt with in MC, unless she knows at some level that H isn't going there in any way right now, is living in denial and delusion, and won't be moved from it. That's the only rationale I can think of. This is a very respected therapist; everyone I have talked with about her has had nothing but positive things to say.
H is living on a high right now; everything seems to be going his way and no one is challenging him or his behavior. He got his ego pumped up to dangerous levels with the job and denominational change, and suddenly the old wife and home were too demanding and tedious, especially when the old flame pops into his life, reminding him of younger and more carefree days. I really kinda thought the folks we spend time with were somewhat "countercultural" in terms of perspective on values and marriage, but they give him support in his "pain" and no challenge at all. This part I just don't understand.
