Counseling session
The counselor: How long have you guys been married?
Zach looks at me before answering "we've been married for over 6 years"
The counselor: correct me if I'm wrong, but you guys have a daughter of 4 years, right?
This time I answered "we do, her name is Amira"
The counselor: that's wonderful, how is she?"
Zach: "She's energetic"
Nichelle: "She's a happy kid"
Zach: "Beautiful smile"
Nichelle: "Very beautiful personality"
The counselor: when was the last time you did something as a family?
We both moved uncomfortably in our seat.
Zach : "Well that would be like... a month ago. roughly"
The counselor eyed us both and followed up by asking. "What is the usual routine for family outings or events?"
"Well we usually try to do something every week, when I'm home" Nichelle said.
"When are you home? What do you dedicate yourself to?"
"So, I'm an artist but I am also a part of a label team which requires me to be in and out of state a lot. I also manage artists and help grow their career, so it does take up a lot of time"
The counselor nodded. "How do you feel about her traveling a lot, Zach?"
"Well, I actually feel pretty overwhelmed by everything that is left to do in the house, taking care of Mir and working at the enterprise. I just don't want Amira to feel like no one cares about her because we don't spend as much time with her."
The counselor nodded "How do you feel hearing that Nichelle?"
"Honestly, we have communicated this before and maybe at first I didn't understand but after a while it hit me and that's when I changed my whole schedule. I cut out a lot of things so that I can come home and spend more time with my family." Nichelle said.
Zach POV
"But, did he tell you what he did when I came home?" she pointed at me, waiting for me to answer.
I sighed in my seat feeling guilty. Nichelle's eyes began to fill with water but she kept her tears at bay. I never meant to do this to her.
"Now, Nichelle let's not point fingers. We're here to talk this through without fighting. Although I understand this may be hard for you. Let us maneuver through this with grace" the therapist said before looking at me and giving me the okay to continue.
"When my wife was away all the time, like I said I was feeling overwhelmed. I just felt like I needed a friend" I started
Nichelle cut me off by singing "what a friend we have in Jesus" she looked at me questioningly and confused "What happened to Jeffrey, George, Ricky, Daniel?"
"You could've even called on Jesus" she faked smiled.
"Even your guardian angel"
"Mrs. Anderson, please let him speak"
"I wanted female companionship, Nichelle hadn't been home for months and I missed her. I missed having her here physically. Calling her every other day wasn't working for me either. She hadn't decided to cut slack on her job until recently, but I had been feeling like this over the past few years."
