My counseling took much longer than I would have liked to see real lasting progress but eventually, with patience and perseverance, I started turning things around. There were times I wanted to quit because it was a painful process but I stuck with it and now am happier than I've been in a long time (years).
I still go every week and don't know where I'd bee without it. At some point I look forward to not going so often.
My H ran out of patience about a year too early.
I'm not suggesting that you see this as a sign of hope but just an understanding that counseling is sometimes a slow process.

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