We had some joint sessions, then she was there alone, I was there alone, and now we're scheduled for another joint session.
During my solo session, I flat out asked the counselor what she thought the chances of rescuing our marriage was. The answer would be obvious to anyone here....the counselor was non-committal, but basically said that it depended on my limit for my wife's drinking (which is none) and her ability to not drink (which she pledged to do).
The concern I have is that the counselor did say that my wife resents my stand on her drinking and feels it is a "control" issue. I don't want to be the policeman. I don't want to "control" her drinking. I want her to stop her drinking of her own volition; I don't think it works otherwise.
This was not encouranging.
