W and I are going to MC as a DC tonight. I hope she opens up a bit.
Anyone done this type of thing before?
Any feedback?
Any advice on Do's and Don'ts in letting her know that I don't want to give up but know that I can't stop her?

Did communications counseling for the sake of the children. It didn't work for us, but then the counselor told me X had "no communication skills".
Per court documents we are supposed to continued this counseling (haven't done it in 16 months), but then I'll let X lead this drive. I'm more concerned about taking the kids to counseling.

W and I saw MC last night and he did focus a lot on communication between us. Worked on aranging time for us to talk together. We have no problem doing that, just don't get the time.
He confirmed and acknowleged that she has no interest in reconciliation but he also spent a bit of time explaining how changes occurr in a relationship and how changing your behavior to meet eachothers EN's can restore romantic love that seems lost.
He was able to explain things to her that I have been wanting her to hear and I hope that coming from him will make the difference.
I Hope she listened and I hope she thinks about it. Sceduled another session in 2 weeks.
Maybe I can get her talking about the subject again and introduce her to MB.
We'll see what happens.
Being as patient as I can, taking it slow, no pressure.
Hoping for the best.
