Wow, going into psychology! Talk about GAL. I have to agree about ICs and individual happiness/selfishness. With my first one I had to bear a lot of what I read in DR in mind although she was very helpful. Idt they realize we know what we had and the extreme changes in our MLC spouses most of the time. Like our well-meaning friends and family they want us to feel better asap.
Thanks for stopping by my thread, hope you keep getting better!
