Update from yesterday

The Bishop talked with me for an hour, opened with a prayer, and I was already in tears. Managed to ramble out my story. He agreed with me on all points (Josh has mental issues and/or has lost touch with reality, I’m a stressed, overworked, neglected/abused single mother down to her last straw). He repeatedly asked, “What can I do to help?”

I left knowing the church will reimburse the cost of counseling; trying to decide which psychologist or masters-level clinician to choose for myself. Hoping when I get started, Josh will want to get his own counseling. Still have to make appointment with a lawyer for free consultation so I’ll know my rights when I give Josh my ultimatum—counseling (at least) or else divorce.

Any advice on a masters-level clinician? I’ve got a list for each, but location is important—so that I can possibly just bike there, leave kids with friends (Josh can think I’m at the park for the first visit or so).

Josh asked what the bishop appointment was for, and I said: “To see about getting help, food, money for bills and stuff,” and he seemed OK with that answer. I did also get approval for one food order [to be paid by the church], so I am being truthful about that.

As always, any advice, opinions, suggestions, experience, insight are welcome and I will not be offended! The more the merrier! Thank you all for your support, help, and me bending your ear.
