I told her I will ask my therapist to make an appointment when we get back. Weird!

She claims that our last therapist said she couldn't help us because we hit a wall. This is not true. Oh boy. Here we go.
That is progress!

However, I am wondering why you said improvement on our behaviors, when it's her behavior. that is problematic for you? Are you afraid to confront her on the issues you have with her anger, her lashing out at you, hitting things, going ballistic, etc etc?

I think it's a huge positive that she wants to go to couples therapy though. That's big.
