Counseling Update!

Well, ladies, I have scheduled an appointment with a counselor at my local shelter! Her name is Susan, and I'm to meet with her at 4:00 p.m. this Thursday. I'm kind of looking forward to it, but I'm also kind of nervous. The only counselor I've discussed any of this with was my former marriage counselor, and she wasn't really all that helpful, because she's continuing to counsel XH at the same time. (That's the main reason why I quit going to her.)

I've been to a counselor one time in the past, for anxiety attacks. This was last spring, before I left XH. The counselor asked me several times if I thought this was from stress related to my marriage, and I just didn't know what to say. So, I don't think he helped me as much as he could have if I'd been completely honest with him. My plan is to just tell this new lady *everything*, from beginning to end, leaving *nothing* out this time! After all, she can only help me as much as I let her, right?

Wish me luck! ;o)

Love & Hugs,

Emm

AAAAAAACCCCCCKKKKKK!!!!!! CHRISTINA!!!!!!

How the heck have you been, girl?!?! You sound *fantastic*!!! Congrats on the new condo, and I'm sure you'll have a great time fixing it up the way ***YOU*** want it! And, wonder of wonders, you're doing *just fine* without the Jerk of the Century! Like we always say around here, the best revenge is living a good life on your own . . . and you're doing it!!!

As for me, I'm still with BF (the OM from my sh!tty marriage, remember?) and we bought a nice old house (build around 1930) back in April. It's beautiful, but it needed a new roof, which we just put on. The guys finished the roof on Tuesday evening, and it looks GREAT! Now, we get to do all the painting inside -- YAY!!! ;oD

It's great to hear from you again, and DON'T BE SUCH A STRANGER!!!! We miss ya around here! ((((HUGS))))

Love & Hugs,

Emm
