You go girl. Last week, I assumed you were seeing a pdoc. That is really important. I agree with Rainbowlight about everything.
You may want to write a list of major problems for you and the major problems for him. They can be different. Keep those lists, too. I find it very easy to forget that I've conquered some of my problems and I get discouraged. Those lists will give you a baseline of treatment goals.
A necessary caution: Go with your gut about the pdoc. They are human. No doc will feel right or be right for everyone.
You are doing great. I admire you patience. If you can afford it, I'd recommend a therapist for you. My sister's husband had "problems" and seeing someone really helped her gain perspective. Family therapy might help the kids, too, but I'm thinking of you, now. Plus, if you go now, he may be more willing to go at some point. Peace, River.
