H. got a letter this week informing him that he's been dismissed from his therapist's practice. He called to make an appointment with a therapist he was seeing before we met (his clinging to the past is one of the things that's prevented us from ever bonding), but she's out of the office until Oct. 1. This will make 2 months with no therapist appointment for him.
He has an appointment the middle of October with a private psychiatrist. Three no-shows and he's out of that practice, according to the former therapist.
The first half of October is filling up with work stuff, so I think I'll have to see the lawyer in the latter part of the month for the last consultation before filing. Unless H. doesn't go to the psychiatrist appointment; if that happens for any reason, I file immediately.
One thing I have to deal with is the feeling that the way things are at the moment is the way they're always going to be. On days when H. is treating me relatively well, I think that everything's okay now--never mind that he spent four hours yelling threats at me six days ago.
