I wrap up the conversation by thanking him for sending me the articles and that I will take a look at them.
End of conversation.
Not bad I guess. This is the longest conversation I have had with H since before Thanksgiving. There were a great deal of 180’s on my end as the last several months I have not made it very easy for H to want to have a conversation with me. H and I will need to have additional conversations to firm up the counseling plans but I want to check out a couple of therapist recommendations first. In the meantime, I plan on taking a look at the links H sent to me.
Excellent mo3. This was so good to read, You had a plan, stuck with it and got a long, amicable discussion about an issue. Don't make assumptions about him blaming S4's behavior on your mothering. Let that roll off your back. Don't take it personally. Comments like that are about him and reveal him, not you.
I'd consider interviewing plenty of C's until I found someone whose approach I liked, etc. (the usual) bit also one who places value on Family Counseling, i.e., having both parents present for some if not all sessions.
Good luck.
