Relationship First Day Of Counseling

[Lmm]

My vet went to counseling for the first time today, well we went together, he's going himself next time. I had no expectations going in. Things couldn't be much worse, if they were we wouldn't be together. But I feel like today was a win . Don 't get me wrong, he sat on the couch and spouted how he doesn't have issues with PTSD or combat ( though he 's always said otherwise) and was his normal stubborn uncompromising self , but he's going back by himself next week (therapist reccomemdation). He's going through a vet center, affiliated with the VA and the therapist seems good. Maybe I have rose colored glasses on but nice to see a little light at the end of that tunnel. Just thought I'd post some good news today. : )

The most valuable couples sessions we've had were where my H was just awful and apparently not open anything to or listening to anyone. But it is working. So... hang in there.
