Counseling Update II: Counseling with XW - 01/07/03 11:16 PM
Boy, was that tough. For those of you following my story, today, my xw and I met with a counselor. It's purpose was to help us figure out ways to help our son adjust to the divorce. I didn't realize that was code for beating up Tim for crying over the divorce.
Ok, I'm being a little sarcastic. And I know I need to try to not cry around my son, but I'm a cryer by nature. I'm one of the people who cries when he's happy. That's my goal for the weekend, to not cry when around my son.
The xw brought up my past attempts at reconciliation and re-emphasized her opinion it would not happen. She called it a "fantasy." Well, to some people, it was a fantasy that a Messiah would come and die for our sins, but that happened, too!
Besides, I have years of mistakes to make up for. I can't expect her to be over them in four months.
She also brought up some LB's that I had done since the divorce. Granted, they were after she had pressed my triggers, but I still need to work on them. I have to if I'm going to try to make deposits to her love bank.
Sometimes, I feel as if I should just give up. I know she would like it if I would. I've been praying, and I just don't feel it's time to give up yet.
So, in the meantime, I'm just going to continue to P.U.S.H.
Ok, to finish on a positive note, I need to tell you the check number I used. I guess I look a lot for "signs from God," but the check was number 777.
