Just left counselors office. Why is it that I always leave her office feeling worse than when I go in? She basically told me to hang my marriage on the shelf and to go on and accept the divorce and be thankful he is being so generous. She said I should accept the fact that he is no longer in love with me and try to find someone who loves me totally. This has just knocked me down about three steps. I think I should find a new counselor.
Absolutely find a new counselor! If the C is not pro-marriage, she will tell you to find happiness being single. Some simply are not equipped to give guidance in M problems.
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
