[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 713666, member: 1550"] It will help you find joy in your life again, not related to your son or husband. You can be happy regardless of anyone else. And you can find new people to enjoy good times with. Your son is locked up so he is no company. Your husband is unaffectionate. He is what he is. But we dont need others to make us happy. You have to make yourself happy. Just like nobody can make your son or husband change, nobody can make you happy or sad EXCEPT FOR YOU. You tell yourself the things that make you happy or sad. You can change how you see your world and life. You can learn to say "Joe is not affectionate to me and I wish he were. But, wow, my garden is beautiful. Think I will work on it now and enjoy the lovely day. Maybe later I can run have coffee with my funny friend across town." That is what a good therapist can help you learn to do. To learn to find joy in life that is not connected to negative people. You are not able to do that right now, but you can learn. I hope you do. Many of us have! [/QUOTE]
