I think you are right. She has a new counselor, but says she has stopped going for lack of $$$. She hadn't asked me for $$$ or I would have gladly paid for it.

Not sure whether this counseler will be any better.

Fact is, W doesn't seem to put much into practice. (There has been some improvement). She uses counseling sessions as a time to 'share her feelings' and that seems to be all that ever gets accomplished. Is the counselor to blame or my W ? Prob. both share some responsibility in the lack of actual progress.

While sharing feelings is important, it seems to me she will never move beyond her present level of bad relationship coping mechanisms unless she gets some new thoughts and habits into her life.

Just my 2cts.
