What do you do when you are angry? After realizing i have detached, he decides to find a therapist for couples counseling. Honestly, I'm not interested in going because i know i might lash out but i have to do it for the sake of our children. I have to know that i tried everything to make us work and the last resort was therapy. What can i do to maintain my cool during the therapy session? How can i respond gracefully to avoid exciting his narcissistic heart with the hurt he put me through? I'm just so annoyed that he has the guts to call for therapy while he still lives with the lady he left me for and i do not know how i should respond gratefully as a high value woman

You’re doing this for your children and that’s what matters. Stay calm by reminding yourself you’re the bigger person here.
It’s hard but don’t let him get a reaction out of you.
Try to detach emotionally during the session.
You’re already showing strength by agreeing to therapy. Keep your responses short and neutral it’ll help you stay composed.
focus on staying calm for your kids. Take deep breaths and remind yourself you’re doing this for them not him.
Know your worth! You deserve better!
i would honestly not engage in that and just try to co-parent, you deserve better. if you wanna go through with it, maybe set a boundary in the beginning of therapy and say you wanna focus on topics that help you with co-parenting
