So I just got back from my first appointment with IC. I'm not sure what was accomplished other than I cried a lot. It was a get-to-know-you session I suppose. She asked about growing up, about my parents marriage, about my kids and my job, in addition to the M. I'm still trying to remember and process.
One thing that does immediately come to mind is that she said I deserve and can have a way better marriage than I had, whether it's with H or someone else. And she felt like I had a good handle on who I am, which I felt like I didn't. She made the distinction between who I am and where I'm going, and said it's where I'm going that's not clear, not who I am inside. She gave me the task of doing some things for myself before the next appointment - in other words, GAL!
