Thank you all for your kind words. You reminded me that this forum can be an oasis
I'm a bit more even now. The sensation I wrote about before was a truly awful one. It gave me a glimpse into what S21 deals with regarding his anxiety/OCD.
Portia, please keep posting here on occasion! Although we are only virtual friends you and many others have become a tangible part of my life. And probably of lives of those who never post but only follow along. I remember in the early days, I'd read through somebody's thread and they'd just vanish... Without even an indication of what direction they were heading. You have an unique situation Portia and have handled yourself so well. Amazing strength, grace and class. I'd bet a dollar more than one person has followed your journey and found solace. And probably more will do so in future times.
H and I have had 3 sessions now. The first one p!ssed H off because it was all about infidelity. The second one seemed ok to H, it was all about the business we lost. The third one was mostly about H's parents/sisters; some about "Tell me H, what do you do to make Jaye feel special?"
After the third session H said to me, "When do we start to talk about ME?"
Lol, I explained to H that this is "marital" counseling, therefor, by design, NOT ALL ABOUT H.
The sessions we've had so far have been free. H's insurance allows for 5 free sessions. I told H if he wants to continue therapy HE'S going to have to phone for authorization. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
Lunch is ending, I don't have time to explain more. Hopefully will have a minute this weekend.
Thanks again to those who stopped by.
Take care,

You teach people how to treat you by what you allow. What you stop. And what you reinforce. ~~~~~~~ A lack of boundaries invites a lack of respect.
