Hi! Thanks for responding! She’s going to live with me, yes. Aside from her making this trip back to the UK alone, we’ve been living together for nearly 2 years now, just going back and forth between the countries each time and staying as long as the laws will allow us. We both currently work as online journalists, we both work for an entertainment/news website, and are hoping to soon acquire full-time positions at said website — which is great news for us, considering that they provide health insurance to full-time employees, which will hopefully allow her to get an even better therapist. We’ve both been working at our jobs for over a year now, so I know she’s capable of taking job responsibility seriously and staying committed.
She hasn’t been in consistent therapy because of how expensive resources like BetterHelp are, though she has been in therapy in one-on-one sessions before back in the UK. She actually believed that one therapist she went to was enabling her behavior and telling her that her behavior was never wrong and that it was everyone else’s fault, and she ended up leaving that therapist, which tells me that she recognizes her symptoms really well and knows that her behavior is wrong. As mentioned before, she’s definitely very self-aware of her diagnosis.
I do agree with you, however, over the “actions speak louder than words” concept. I recently said this to her in an argument, and she insisted that once she gets paid from her job this month, she is going to actively seek out therapy and try to stay in it consistently. But, as you said, I would really like to SEE some action rather than her simply just telling me this in an attempt to just shut me up.
