Has that worked for you?

We have been married 20 years and have had several difficult times. I think separating would have been the best for us and our son sometimes but we have always weathered the storms and I hope we have not caused to much suffering for our son. My husband has said the reason he has never left is because he wants to be living with his son. When my husband came to see my counsellor. It did not work. I have found it is always best to start from the same place. The couple therapy / family therapy has only been helpful when the therapist is neutral. Financially it is difficult. I have also been afraid of not be able to care for my son when I am sick or losing custody because of illness.
