Not very easy, to lay out the ugly of our situation and not hold anything back. Lots of tears. Lots of listening on our part.

He is a therapist who came highly recommended to us, very well liked by our peers, decades of sobriety and wisdom to offer.

He was (suprisingly, to me) very accepting of our age difference. He not only thought the relationship still had alot to offer us both, he thought it would be MORE reasonable to work on our issues while living in the same household than not. So, with some mutual enthusiasm about going forward together, and at least for the time being, we are operating from under the same roof again.

Of course, lots of immediate suggestions about how to go about our healing with a little more focus than we had been employing, but we're both willing to give it a go at this point.

I feel very relieved that a professional is overseeing our progress, and very comfortable with the suggestions given. And my gut feelings were validated, which is always pretty reassuring.

Gonna rest a bit now.
