I've been noticing a lot of tension between W and D9. Both are going to IC's but am wondering if there might be value in "family" counselling trying to figure out through a IC how to handle our situation through the Separation.

Would/Could this be seen as desperate or controlling on my part if I suggest it to W? The intent wouldn't be to reconcile or anything, more just to figure out how to work through the situation with the least impact on D.

D's counselor did mention to me last time that the ambiguity of our situation is not good for D (W keeps telling D it's temporary). It's hard enough on LBS', we can at least accept some of the unknown and work through it emotionally but for kids it must be brutal!

Anyone else on the forums done something like this to work through how to handle the kids through your separations?
