Kyle,

I know the feeling as it relates to the counseling sessions. It took me until the 9 to or 10 the session before I felt there was value. I also realized that it was on me to create the value for the sessions. You are in charge of where the sessions should be going. Also, if you do not feel that the IC is meeting your needs. Find a new one. Give the current one a chance, but know you can always find one that meets your needs if this one does not.
I had to tell my IC at one point that I did not want to discuss my WAW and her actions. This was a good turning point in my sessions. I encourage that you take control of the sessions. MWD gives good advice on how to select an MC. IMO, selecting and IC should be done in much the same way..

Keep putting in the work to heal and gain strength. I tell folks here, that emotional healing is much the same as physical healing. It takes time, effort, support from others and patience. When you go to the gym and start working out, you don't see results after the first one or two times you work out. Right?

You have to keep at it, change behaviors, attitudes and go through trial and error to get the results you want.

Hang in there my friend. It does get better. Stay on track and do not lose heart. You children need you and you deserve to feel peace and joy. You will, if you keep putting in the work.
