Five years managing - but now need counseling

I wish I had taken this step sooner. Signed up to StopSo counseling with first session next week. I have been 'alone' on this journey for mostly three years before I had to disclose to close family. But I can't burden them with all that goes through my head.

I have noticed I have become more resentful and resentful to those who are essentially innocent parties - in laws, courts, legal system and others mixed into this mess. The resentment I have with my person I feel is justified , when taking into considertion of their offending and conviction.

Hopefully by speaking to a neutral party I can just get off my chest and make sense of where I am at in my life ATM.

I had been put off getting help because I feel like I don't deserve it and that I shall lay on the bed I have made. But the build up of anger I can tell is going to get me in trouble with others as I don't have a realease.

I would highly recommend those on the long haul to consider seeking help. I'm somewhat optimistic the counseling will help, and I now have the funds to get the support.

Evening majestictopaz

So glad you have posted its been ages since we have heard from you xx

How are you keeping

It is certainly a frustrating and angry place to be x

I did the LFF course and it was nice to meet others on the same journey and talk face to face but I was hoping to meet other Mums but it was a mixture of other ladies on the same journey but with OH not sons

Xx

Hi majestictopaz, I have been on this journey since July last year and I will also start therapy this month. I am almost ashamed to talk to a therapist, but I know it will be better for me than suffering alone.
