Wow, what a story. Thank you for sharing yours, Jennifer. Interestingly, my ex was also very bothered by the fact that I decided to see a therapist (for unrelated problems). He told me he was afraid that she would tell me that he was the problem and convince me to leave him. I learned that way that anyone who discourages you from seeking mental healthcare is problematic.

I’m glad you’ve found healing also. Wishing you (and your ex) more fulfilling partnerships going forward!
