I wouldn't expect her to want to be in a room with you for anything, even counseling, for a long time. Have you told her in the past that you won't hit her again or that you only hit her because she makes you so angry?

I'm sure it took her a lot of courage to be able to get to where she is right now and she is right to have you out of the house.

You have lots of work to do, keep with the counseling.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
