I also started counseling last night. The kids started last Wed. and I went along and spoke to the therapist and she suggested I talk to her and get another counseler for the kids. So I did. So while they are in play therapy, I'm in therapy. Gives me a chance to relax and realize things I've never noticed before. They seem to think I put a lot of pressure on myself to not be like my dad. That I carry the guilt of our past. Which makes sense b/c I really don't think he realizes how his actions have affected the person I am. She also thinks I'm overprotecting myself right now given my past. But, says it's okay and she wants me to continue on this path. Of analyzing things and really thinking things through. She hopes that by doing this, someday I'll find that happy medium. B/c my entire life I've been unprotected. That's what she says. I feel really good. They say I have very good inner awareness. I'm just ready to break this cycle of abuse...right now. I'll do whatever it takes to do that. I feel like I'm making those steps. I can finally breath now. Thanks for listening...
