Counseling
We had our first visit this week with the "christian" counselor. Nice, English gentleman who is an ordained Orthodox. Not in any way similar to my non-denominational background, but still, at least we believe in the same God. He's very softspoken, wears sandles and socks... 
He really just got a lot of background information on us. Asked things about our families, if our parents were still married, siblings, etc. My husband's is pretty simple, there are 6 of them from the same 2 parents, their parents are still married, but haven't lived together in over 20 years. Mine is much more complicated. I am my mother's only child, my biological father's 5th child and my adoptive father's 4th child. It's like ivy. The counselor kind of gave me that look like "no wonder you are screwed up". Anyway, he then asked us what our major issues were and I explained everything from my point of view, which DH agreed with. Then the counselor said, well, I get the sense that you are overwhelmed. Then he asked DH, "do you get the sense that she is overwhelmed?" Of course, he answered yes and the counselor pretty much reaffirmed what I knew. That DH was a big baby and let me take care of him and everything else.
So, we have another appointment next week, DH is still living with his mom, which is perfect as far as I can see and I don't know when or IF I'll ever let him move back in. It's MY house. MY daughter, MY car, nothing has his name on it. Sounds selfish, I know, but I feel like if I am the one taking care of everything anyway, I might as well just go ahead and do it by myself. I like it that way.
Well, enough rambling for today. I appreciate everyone's support. I am staying on track with eating. Lost 4 pounds last week, but gained one of them back this week. We'll see how things go for the weigh-in on Saturday. I still want to see a "1" on my scale so badly! It will happen, surely!
