Hi Anita

Thank you for your empathy. It means a lot to me, to be understood. I appreciate your ideas to help the relationship.

Yes, I also think that couples counselling is about my husband learning to emphasize with my perspective. This is something that he struggles with.

Yesterday, he finally acknowledged that he has been struggling with his own untreat PTSD which has been triggered because of the prolonged stress and argumemts.

It was nice to hear him finally say that it wasn’t my fault. I think that if I hadn’t tried my hardest to manage my behaviour during the arguments we would never make it. I have honestly been trying my best.

He isn’t a bad person and I know that things are hard but I hope that they will get easier again and ideally get to an even healthier place than they were. A place where we can healthily and happily raise a child.

I know that it’s not going to be easy, there are going to be mistakes. But ideally, less and less mistakes until things are okay.

I don’t think that the dental work is something to look forward to. Looking forward to it being over on the other hand 😂 I think you’ve done a really good job advocating for yourself and planning a strategy to help yourself be as comfortable as possible!

Love and best wishes, always! ❤️🙏
