Very good question, adinva. Being more assertive also means more responsibility and knowing what you want.
Last, at least for now, session with current IC. While she was sympathetic, I didn't find her particularly useful. Was upbeat at the session, though, EE had really pumped me up.
Have found another IC, who I will meet this Friday. I travel to the States on Monday morning, gone 4 weeks, including 5 days for EE.
I found this in my diary from 1988:
Germany. I leave school, I leave home, my wife wants to live separately, a new land, a new time.
My last "free" evening. W is reading Brodkey; she likes it very much. She's filled my thoughts so much these last few days with her wanting to move out, a painful desire for me. She talks of 4 years alone-.
One hell of a marriage, I think and am so hurt and angry and sad. She'll be my "girlfriend" - demotion from wife.
So this has been going on for 25 years!
