Wolfman, when is your first session with D? How frequent will they be? You must be excited.
Therapy takes time. I like when they give you clear homework. Hopefully within a few sessions, you’ll have impressed the therapist enough, a weekly phone call will be on the table.
re: Making peace with XW, only you know precisely how you’re allowed to communicate with her, but it’s hard to imagine terms where you could ask her about tackle football but couldn’t find a way to ask her advice for making this first therapy session a success for your D, either directly or with your attorney’s help.
