You have a ton of reasons to back away from your therapist it would seem. Not only because she was out of tune with your feelings on your marriage, so that you probably didn't feel it was helpful to discuss it with her, but because you were probably mentally preparing to back off in the frequency of your sessions. Not to mention helping yourself say what you needed to say to your husband.
It sounds as if, in some important ways, you're trying to take care of yourself emotionally. And I don't think you were off base in doing it.
I'm guessing that now you've made your decision, she'll stop tugging in the opposite direction. And I'm enormously glad that you're not going to stop seeing her entirely, because you'll need support at this point. You know you can count on us, but IRL support is different and important.

Not to shift gears abruptly, but are you taking care of all the practical considerations as well as the emotional ones? A good attorney is as wise an investment as a good therapist in helping prepare you to be in the best possible place to be a single mom.
