As for your husband
I do agree that a good therapist can make a heck of a difference... but primarily one needs to want to change and actively work on that. Just like you are working hard on yourself, he needs to want to change himself.. and not give up at the first hurdle.

With a better therapist, I am hoping that *you* get the support you need in this dynamic.
YES, she did!!! She was downright just awful. The more I think on it. the worse it is.

My husband has made some important changes, so that's good at least. But he still needs to work on the rest. And thank you, I hope so too!
