Told H again last night I was considering counseling to help me sort through things, see if I'm normal for feeling like we're missing something or if I have totally lost it, looking for the impossible dream. He has told me on more than one occasion if that's what I feel I need to do go ahead, but he will not go with.<BR>Will it still help to talk with a counselor without him?

YES YES YES YES. If he will not go with you go without him. It will help you. Maybe late he will want to go with you but for now. See a counselor it will help! Most of us here see a counselor either with our spouse, alone or both. It does help us.<P>------------------<BR>di<P>

Thanks for that extra nudge!<P>Just talked to someone at work in the Employee Assistnace Program, he referred a counselor to me. I called and left a message right away before I wimped out. I feel better knowing that I'm really making an effort here. Thanks!

mschif -- I too saw a counselor on my own, long before my W even considered the idea. It did me a tremendous amount of good.<P>Just remember to go in with an open mind.<P>God Bless
