so we are starting marriage counselling this week, i am nervous. he has been emotionally abusive in the past we been separated for a good while now and have a 3 yr old dd - we are hoping to get our issues ironed out, tbh i don't see much hope of getting back together but this will be a way of getting some closure, even possibly hoping for an outcome of good communication with him. i am so worried though about bringing everything up again - he wouldn't deal with it all at the time, and in a way im over it all, but it has to be dealt with now, and im so pissed off that i have to bring it all up again, i know its going to be very very stressful (counselling was the last time, when we were married) so i think im going to need as much support as i can. ive been told this counsellor is very experienced with domestic violence etc, i really hope she finds a way to make him realise his selfishness even with the way he deals with childcare etc now - i feel we have so much to sort out, issues from when we were married and lots of issues from after we separated too. its going to be fun....NOT. sigh. i just feel like 'not this again' should have been over long long ago!!
