I'm cautiously happy about the apology but saying you are sorry for everything without knowing what everything is somewhat of a hallow apology. I will take it for now and be happy with it but there is much work to do. She is supposedly going to setup a MC appointment so we will see where it goes.

I have 2 references for counselors but I would like to find more somehow that practice DB principles, anybody have suggestions? I know there is a chapter in DR about this as well.

I will be going to a zoo light thing with my W and S tomorrow night. That should be interesting to say the least. My W discussed doing Christmas morning together with our S. I will probably do that as Christmas is about the kids and I think it would be great for our S. I will take all this as slow as I can but I must say that it is somewhat nice to not be battling my W during Christmas. I will continue my info gathering activities for divorce until I know where this is going. I don't think my W has stopped her EA yet but I will give her the benefit of the doubt for now.

Would it be bad to request that she stop the EA as a condition of going to counseling or should I just address it in counseling?
