Finally, a couples therapist can see us. The therapist has dealt with emotional and verbal abuse. Perfect.

I have a sliver of hope.... a tiny sliver, but it's there. My husband is willing to do therapy, and that's one positive step.

Now, he just needs to be receptive to it when we start.... and receptive to changing his behavior.

I am not being unrealistic though.... I know the statistics and data. He needs to really commit to this and I would think we will need to see a counselor for a long time. And then individual therapy for him. We shall see.
