Thanks for following a long Matilda. I go again on Thursday and that will be my last session paid for by EAP. I need to call my insurance today and figure out how this transfers to them. But even if I have to pay out of pocket I am going to continue seeing her.

I had a lot of time to think this wekend (drove over 1400 miles) and I got some time alone with my two SIL's. I found out this weekend that one of my BIL is a recovering alcholic. He attends a meeting every morning at 6:00 am. I am very proud of him. I remember several years ago that he used to drink at family gatherings (nothing more than anyone else though), but then never did anymore. I do not know what the catalyst was that made him quit drinking, but glad that he did.

My other BIL is a mess... he is no longer married to my SIL (he is my husband's brother but I still consider his ex-wife my SIL). She and I hosted the shower together on Sunday. Anyway, he divorced his wife of 26 years and has been leading the life of a playboy for the last 5 or so.

Basically I guess DH's family is just as messed up as everyone elses. Which may explain some of our problems.

I have some reading to do from Jokerman and I am at work this morning... trying to stay awake.

I'll be back to update more later.

H and sons will be gone until the weekend. I am looking forward to this alone time.
