Thanks, Nomad.
I'm not in marriage counseling right now, but have been in the past. I just have to remember to use the tools we were given.
We have date nights once a wk, which I really look forward to.
I go by myself to a counselor and hadn't been going for a long time, but things came to a head so I decided to go back.
We have a child psychologist and psychiatrist for difficult child. We need new ideas ... plus, the child psychologist is funny and clever so I want to try him again b4 we switch out with-anything else.
Meanwhile, I am on 2 waiting lists with-psychiatrists to get a 2nd opinion on difficult child and his moods and whether he's got something we're missing. He is on medications but nothing for bipolar, just Imiprimene, clonidine, and Adderall.
When they wear off, we can really, really tell!
So I know they're working.
I am worried about the impulsivity and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) activity with-the computer (which we have also experienced with-food and lingerie, but those have passed, more or less), so that's one direction I want to move in.
