~Like a single mother,even though i'm still married.~
by Lisa C
(Kenmore,Ny)
Actually, Me & my husband have been married for about 12 years. And ever since our adorable daughter was born over 4 years ago, i feel like i am a single mother & that i'm doing all of the work with little help from my husband with our daughter, by taking care of her & of taking the time to spend some family time with her as much as i can before i return to work in the fall.
But every time my husband returns home from work, he freshens up & falls asleep on the couch until it is dinner time. He never takes the time to spend some ~Family Time~with me & our daughter (except at dinner time or on the weekends whenever he is actually off from work). But,the only thing that i do ask of him, is that it is only fair to do his share of giving me some help with our daughter & of spending a lot more time with us.
Many times,we have already talked about this issue & problem & apparently nothing has been solved & my husband is doing the same exact routine for months now. Including,he has been ~Verbally abusive towards me in front of our daughter as well.
~~Please i need some helpful advice.~ Thank you.

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
