It seems to me that sometimes no matter how nice you are to someone... They are always cruel or mean in return. I have personally spent years being courteous to my ex-husband but to no avail...
What gives? Will he always be needlessly cruel and hurtful? Unfortunately it has now been 4 years since our divorce and it seems worse than ever... I will have to leave it to karma to resolve this for us. He is so strongly opinionated I think counseling, therapy and the like would not make any difference. His superiority complex would remain intact! I shall prevail and weather the storm! Only 10 more years to go!

Will I need therapy after this is all over?
I have just started a Masters in Mental Health Counseling from Walden University, and a major reason for this is for me to feel both self-fulfilled and more self-sufficient. I am one of those women who has spent many years resigning from jobs in favor of my husbands (now 'ex') career. I have been the proverbial transient employee.
I would now like to feel I am bringing more to my own relationship table than just a warm personality, fairly good parenting and culinary skills, and a few other 'unmentionables'. I am no domestic goddess it has to be said! So, I have a game plan.
I plan to use my experience in marketing to do some shameless 'self-promotion'. This will all be focused on career related interests via a variety of social media and online methods (Facebook, Twitter, Blogger and my website). My ultimate aim is to have a large number of followers online, interested, as I am, in mental health, counseling and therapy, to include areas such as child and adolescent counseling, marital and family therapy, addiction therapy, grief counseling (to name just a few!).
If I succeed, what will my life look like in 3-4 years time? Well, I will have saved up enough money to build a small separate consulting building on my property, and I will be providing counseling services both from my office and online. I am seeking a rewarding counseling career combined with balance for my family. The question is - can it be done, and will I make it?
