Circling the drain

[needinghope]

Cat,

Thank yo so much for responding. BTW the verse that you are using in your signature is my favorite verse in the entire Bible, I believe.

I know that you are right about getting out and keeping busy. It is just so hard to find the motivation. All of my friends that I would usually hang out with are on vacation, so this week is going to be particularly hard for me. But, I went to the bookstore and bought 3 books to read this week, so I should be able to get inspiration there.

We are going to our 1st C session this evening. He said that he wants to talk a lot more than he has in the past. We've seen 2 Cs in the past year. The first was crazy; I should have run at the sight of all of the trolls and unicorns in her office. The 2nd did most of the talking and characterized our marriage according to sweeping genralizations that I'm pretty sure she got from a Dr. Phil book. Anyway, based on the website, tonight's session looks more promising. I need help with what direction I should be pursuing. My husband wants the counselor to get to know us and help us to determine what direction we should be heading. I think that is unrealalistic since MCs are supposed support the healing of the marriage if both partners are basically healthy and safe. So, I'm confused about whether or not I should talk about wanting to work things out. I don't want to pressure him and scare him off.

I'm confused and lonely and in need of advice. Thank you so much for your help.
