Well, they're strange and, yes, my WAW is in it only for "closure" (at least that was her statement as to her intent after we'd had a couple sessions). You're not really working at fixing anything so it seems kind of pointless, but our counselor is trying to bring out issues she's seen in both of us to get the other one to see and understand.
I think her hope may be that in so doing...breaking down the walls, challenging incorrect understandings and assumptions, and giving each of us a different perspective...that at some point my WAW may decide that her decision was based, in part, on bad information and that perhaps she should reconsider (or at least slow down enough to investigate further before blowing it all apart).
Nothing may come of it, but I don't think it hurts me and, in a couple of cases, has helped (at least me...can't speak for the WAW).
Nevertheless, it is difficult to be patient when you feel like you're in limbo and the counseling sessions are difficult and painful.
