IC tonight was good. She was pretty on board with all of the DB strategies I'm working on. Reinforced the importance of the GAL activities in that it gives me some actual adult time and time away from M issues.
Cautioned me against pushing things fast early on in the piecing process (if we get there). Which is something I knew, but good to have reinforced. She helped me with how to deal with the blame my W wants to constantly heap on me.
Also talked about getting my masters and my C liked my thoughts on getting it in something outside of education so I can have career options down the road if needed. It also represents a 180 for me since it'd be the riskier choice than the relatively easy path of getting an education related Masters.
Set my next appointment for right after school starts so I can process however that situation works out. I'm sure I'll need it that day. Feeling optimistic about myself and very cautiously hopeful for my situation.
Hope everyone else is doing well tonight.
Me: 34 W:33 T: 10 M: 6 S: 6 D: 5 BD: 5/14 Still together(ish) Not giving up: 7/14 D talk has slowed, a lot. Gradually working on things together. Still separate bedrooms. Slow and Steady wins the race.
