First counseling appointment...

It just left me sad and feeling defeated. No real advice, she just got an understanding of the situation. I'm so sad and hurt. I really want to talk to my husband..or whatever. ButI want him to understand. Smh. I just want to hide in a hole and never some out but instead I have to mask up and act like mom's all smiles and sunshine and under control.😭😭😭

Of course you have all those feelings. You have to feel whatever is inside...that is what therapy is. To get to the issues, drag them out, and get rid of them. Therapists give you the tools to do it. He or she will NOT fix it for you, they guide you to where you want to be. You must do the work. Be open. ALWAYS speak the truth or it will not work. Don't do what so many people do after the first session, usually because the person doesn't really understand what therapy is and so they have unreasonable expectations.I'm just going on about it in case you are one of those people. Keep at it until you don't feel you have to "mask up" and you can be free.
