[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 15:20 and I really think a therapist is a good idea. There's a lot of 'up' emotion in your responses and all of your thoughts and feelings are 100% valid, and I can't imagine the trauma you've been through, but the jugdes/lawyers/courts won't respond well to the state you're in now.

You need perspective and as shitty as it is to have lived the nightmare of abuse you need to be calm and less reactive. Surviving abuse has made it this way but it won't help in court. It takes a ton of work in therapy but is worth volumes for yourself personally and your situation too. Take care.[/quote]

OP here, and thank you for the kind words. I know I need therapy, I WANT it, logistics and $ is my problem. My husband needs to go to AA, as many nights as possible. He has a therapist (finally!) but that’s another night he’s gone. Therapy is $150/.hour + if you can’t get it covered by insurance.  And then mommy needs therapy, boom, $15-$20/hour for a babysitter.  I don’t disagree, but I’ve been here before. We can’t do it all, so we prioritize the one who needs it most. I have to just make do, which has never done me any favors.[/quote]

Can you go to Al-Anon?  It's free and for family members of the alcoholic.  You may have to try a few groups until you find one that fits you.  Try to set up a regular kid swap with another parent if you can't afford babysitter. [/quote]
