Only 24 hours from now I will be sitting in a room with The Witch "talking". I told my mom yesterday that I need angels sitting next to me holding their hands over my mouth. To say I am scared would be putting it mildly.
Husband and I have gone over what it is we are hoping to get from the session and I did my best to "practice" with him on what to say in order for us to get our point across. It didn't go very well, but maybe the real thing will go better.
Thankfully last night we didn't talk about any of this stuff and we got a good night's sleep. I can only hope tonight we will get at least some sleep.

Good luck with that. I know it has to be hard and I hope that everyone is civil and well behaved. I'm glad you got some rest. I do not operate well when I have a lack of sleep at all! Just stay calm and be good to yourself.
ReplyDeleteGood luck tomorrow. My advice to is remind yourself that jabbing back at her isn't going to make things better, and that being the bigger person makes you the better person. I'll send some strength your way.
ReplyDeleteWishing you well. I have been in your place. All I can say is to stay calm. I'm sure the Witch will become unraveled and the counselor will see the situation for what it is. My husband's ex was really convincing for awhile, but then we just started letting her hang herself. Over time it culminated in her breaking into our house, assaulting my husband, stalking me and my children, etc, etc. The therapist ended up stating she was probably one of the most evil-minded people she had ever encountered in her practice. What I most hope is that you have the support of your husband in there. Nothing hurts more than when your spouse doesn't have your back. Stay calm and good luck!
ReplyDeletePraying it goes well for you guys! Remember, your marriage comes first & in the end... she's just a jealous wench :)
ReplyDeleteI would say "Try not to stress yourself out over this," but I know you will anyway. Being in the same room with ex's is often enough to get our blood boiling. Try to ignore any jabs the witch throws your way and remember the reason you are there. Keep an open mind and heart and focus on Trouble's best interests. Lastly, be flexible. If you want things to change, you have to be willing to bend too.
ReplyDeleteWishing you luck!! I agree with everyone else that you should try and not say too much. Our lawyer always tells us to sit quietly, and to let the Ex dig herself a hole (Which she ALWAYS does) sounds like that may be the case in your situation too. Hang in there!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck! I know that I would be terrified of the emotional terrorist in our life. You will do well, I just know it!
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone! I wish I could take you all in there with me, or have you standing outside the door to give me hugs. (or beat her up. lol. just kidding)
ReplyDeleteGood luck! It will soon be over and hopefully that will be good. Speak from love -- for your husband and for his kids (even if you have to dig deep it's still there.) And? My favorite advice to give my kidlings -- Hold on to what you know is TRUE. (someone tells you this is your fault? You know it's not true -- hold onto what YOU know to be true.)
