For what it's worth, I agree with you and MC that hurt feelings are an important topic. IMO, a lot of the "real issues" wouldn't be even be issues if there weren't hurt feelings attached to them.

But hey, he's still attending counseling with you, even if he is uninvolved at times while there. If nothing else, you have had that neutral 3rd party validate that it's not you who deserves 100% of the blame for everything.
