I've been seeing a shrink for 25 years; it's finally paying off.
Hope you don't let other's expectations of you interfere with your well-being.

I just continue to be surprised at what you write; what you are
going through right now. The chronicle of current events in your life closely mirrors my past...
I sat with my former spouse in a hospital waiting room five years ago while a friend was in surgery. We chatted as if we were two strangers whose paths had crossed for a few hours.

Hi Muser - nice to talk to you. I hope I'm not stirring things up with you seeming to relive your past. Perhaps that's what I'm doing. Trying to fathom the present. But past is easy, bitter-sweet, full of so much of everything. Present, a little uncomfortable. Future... is unfolding. My husband went to joint counselling at first; it was his idea, but he stopped very soon. He knows what he wants. I am taking longer to fix

Enough is enough is when you get home from work one evening, and
as much as you love your home, you realize that you don't want to be there with him anymore. You actually don't want to be anywhere that he is. Your emotional state has reached that of ambivilance ...no anger...no love...no...nothing.

There must be a reason for my reliving my past...I don't know what it could
possibly be...If you feel the need for support, I am here. I am so glad you are going to counseling. My former husband went with me to counseling...once, and alone...once. That spoke volumes to me. I will only say that as I gained more personal freedoms, such as going with a friend to the opera, I REALIZED I WAS LESS AND LESS WILLING TO LIVE MY LIFE...ON HIS TERMS.
