Oops. I should explain...I was pretty worked up a few weeks ago and might have suggested that everyone that works in court services tears families apart for a living and is part of a soulless machine that will be regarded as being as immoral as slavery in 50 years...the comment that they all eat babies may or may not have come out of my mouth. Fortunately those that know me know that I'm all bark and it was a really tough weekend for me.

Anyway, I don't see how any conversations between the two of you are going to be productive right now. JB is right, you are in a bad cycle. Would he be open to going to an IC?

As far as I'm concerned anyone that refuses to go to counseling when their M is failing is admitting they are out of line. If he won't go I wouldn't file D, I would just keep moving forward.

Personally I think you need a DB coach. Mine was awesome. And they would be one of the few I'd trust as a counselor in a situation like this. And if he won't go then they can help you much more than any of us. Is that possible?
