No, he's seeing a counselor. . .I'm sorry for the confusion. When he was saying "I'm a PROFESSIONAL counselor" he was mocking my counselor. . . kidding about how serious that my counselor is (as apposed to his counselor, who is very laid back and open)
I wish I could just make the ugly part go like. . yesterday. I feel pretty convicted (and often guilty) about it. . .but it still remains.
The book that I'm reading "Search for Significance" has been very helpful to me. . . as I'm trying to learn how God sees me, and try to always be the best person I can be.
I know that I have gotten better in the past 4 months thanks to a lot of prayer and help from my counselor, but I still have a long ways to go.
The worst part is at times if my kids push my buttons and I raise my voice and yell at them. . .then I feel like the worst mother ever. I have to apologize and explain it's not their fault and Mommy is being grouchy. I just wish that I could flip a switch and have "that" voice never come out again.
My daughter is so much like me and now she shouts when sh e's upset too. I want to be a better example.
Hubby is on the strongest dose of Zoloft and has started having chest pains and almost daily stomach problems, so he may have to go off or switch. . . and he's tried almost everything. I sort of think he needs a different counselor.
His does a lot of "positive thinking" stuff which is fine, but it doesn't seem to change him at the core. . .my counselor really gets to the heart of things. . .
