Maybe Baby, the Gypsy Lied

There was only one counselor in my town, I tried her, but she really only wanted to try to ease the D, she and I werent on the same page.

I agree with Karen, a local pastor was great, an odd thing about Alaska is the abundance of churches, and I did drive for an hour to meet with another counselor a few times. I got along with her better, but she also seemed more interested in Divorce counseling than MC. A combo of these boards, and the pastor were the best for me, I also did the phone counseling.

I think its also important to remember that your kids arent there for MC, so maybe the C that didnt work for you would be effective for your kids. I would try to find someone who specializes in kids, maybe even kids in a divorce. Dont be afraid to ask them how often they deal with your sitch, or whatever questions you may have. Any medicine is a business, and if they want your business they will treat you like a paying customer.
