I think you have much bigger problems than an affair, though, if your H is so cruel to you. Has he always been cruel to you?

You can do some research and reading to help you make your counseling time more productive. Either way you have work t/d. You should see if your insurance will pay for counseling. Be prepared to pay some out of your own pocket for it. L.

I didn't get a response at first until someone directed me to a special department in the church. Once I contacted the right department they quickly sent me a long list of counselors, many of whose rates were on a sliding scale based on income. Try sending an email to the preacher or one of the leaders in the church requesting that they direct you to some help or look on the church website to see if there is a special department that you need to contact.

These are contracted to outside groups and are part of keeping employees happy and productive. I was entitled to (and used) 6 sessions free of charge. They would also provide 6 sessions for everyone in my immediate family. If yo play your cards right a couple could qualify for 12 free sessions! Check in it.
