Keeping it short and sweet... My boyfriend of 8 years (we do not live together or have children together, but we both have children from previous marriages) owes my parents a large sum of money. Over 100k. There is a payment plan set up, but he does not abide by it and basically, he pays them a drop here and a drop there and for the most part has stopped paying them anything at all.

You always maintained your impartiality with us. You encouraged Rita to be more assertive in stating what she wanted to get from your counseling sessions, as well as what she wanted to get from the relationship. You taught both of us better communication between ourselves, which lead to an emotional comfort level between us that didn't exist before. You took control of the direction of the session if things were not moving along. Thanks so much for helping us." Rita and Mark |
