Journaling: Thursday Afternoon: So W cancelled appointment with psych. She did it because she did not let her manager know about it ahead of time. And since things had blown up between them, she did not want to give her manager any more reason to lay into her. She says she is going to reschedule, but hasn't yet.
She called Tuesday morning crying because of how bad her manager was treating her. It is bad, one of her staff told her she should quit. She asked if we could cancel the MC session for that day, but I convinced her to go saying that it sounded like she really needed to talk to the counselor. She agreed to go.
The MC session essentially became an IC for her. We first described the stress associated with us attempting to come to an agreement with the landlord for an early termination of the lease. This will cost us a decent amount and my W is feeling guilty over it. Which leads to the problem with her manager; she would really like to quit but feels the need to keep working because of the money she has spent on apartment. The MC told W that she really doesn't need to deal with the disrespect she is receiving. W said that MC makes a lot of sense and that she needs to think about what she really wants to do.
Today we gave a written offer and check for early termination of lease to the landlord. It is equivalent to rent for Nov, Dec, and Jan; don't know what we will do if he does not accept it. Neither W nor I want to be straddled with this monthly reminder of what happened.
So even though our lives are currently stressful; our M seems to be holding up quite well.
