Yes on hope and (probably) yes on BS.

Smitty, you have probably or will definitely hear this one... in fact, you will right now... :-)

In certain situations, you need to believe none of what you hear and only 50% of what you see...

I managed to convince my W to counseling. On the way to the third session, she admitted that she wasn't going to try to fix the M. She said that she wanted to use it to figure out why it happened and to help in the future. But from what I was getting out of the sessions, it was looking like an opportunity for her to prove to herself why I was the cause and problem.

And be happy (no real sarcasm there). You have not seen D papers, yet. That's a positive. Until YOU decide this is over, only THEN is it over.
