I haven't posted in a long time, but I had to write about my experiences over the last two weeks. My WS has been arguing with me about our counseling sessions for months now. Typically S tells me the night before or several days before that S is not going with me. This happened twice in the last two months, and I just went by myself. The MC wasn't really thrilled about that I don't think, but there were things I wanted to know anyway and didn't really want to ask in front of WS. Some things the MC answered and others he just ignored. Anyway, after the second missed session, I decided my only recourse was divorce since I had told WS the alternatives were divorce or counseling. After a miserable weekend of S sitting in the house and watching TV/sleeping over the entire beautiful weekend, S met with MC by himself. The transformation since that day is incredible. I can only describe it as though the MC flipped a switch!!! I know my WS has a personality disorder, so I'm trying not to get my hopes up too high, but I am so encouraged by the changes I see. WS came home and gave me a bear hug, told me S loves me, and has been very considerate and loving for over a week. We meet with the MC at the end of the week, and I'm anxious to see how long this will continue. I know we have an extremely long road ahead, but this is interesting. The MC wouldn't disclose what he told S said during the session, but whatever it was, the effect was dramatic.

One additional thing I failed to mention. When I met with the MC by myself, I asked him how many times I was supposed to let WS treat me badly and not move on. His response was "until death do us part, right?" My IC is on the complete opposite track with me after the events of the past, but I'm confused and trying to figure this out. The MC's response leaves me with such feelings of guilt.
