D9 had counseling tonight. DH did not go--he had duty. The counselor told me about last week's session. She said that she will be suggesting to DH in the future that he get into IC and parenting classes so he fully understands the impact of his decision on the kids, as well as dealing with his own GAD. She agrees with me that DH cannot help D9 if he has not dealt with his own disorder. Who knows if he will actually listen to her.
C said she tried to explain to DH that no matter how he spins it, the kids will always view his actions after deployment as abandonment and that DH considered his friends more important than them. She does not know if he really heard her.
It will be interesting tosee what happens going forward. Most of the session was spent with trying to get D9 to open back up like she had been doing a few weeks ago. C noticed that D9 is agitated, easily distracted, and fidgety again. Said she may recommend an increase in dosage on the concerta. We will see how she is in a couple of weeks.
Please keep her little God heart in your prayers. She is such a mighty little prayer warrior for her dad. Makes me proud to see her embracing her faith so completely.
