Did you have something you wanted to work on? I do think it is up to us to tell the T what we want to work on that day. I also think if a client says he doesn't want to work on an issue that day, that the T should respect that. But be prepared to say what you do want to work on!

I think this is a big, present day concern that merits some time to work on. JMO. I went through a divorce too and working all those things out is hard and I am glad I had the support of my T when I went through that. We talked about it a lot. Hang in there. Is your XH the father of your children? It can be really good for the kids when their parents can work things out and they are able to keep both parents in their lives after the divorce (unless of course a parent is abusive, etc.). I wish you well with this.
