Glad you ditched the therapist! Have you tried Alanon?
I went to Alanon years ago. I have started thinking about going again. They only have one meeting a week here and it is on Tuesday night. I work full time, have a 2 hour commute (round trip) and full custody of my kids. There is no way I would be able to make it to that meeting. I work in a large city that has many meetings and have thought about going to one on my lunch break. I should look into that this week.
