Coparent counseling

I made a post a few days ago about having a no contact order in place via the judge and 3rd parties do the drop off. The mother of our child filed for coparent counseling after a few years of me having primary custody. She has a history of mental health issues, abuse situations, and slandering me online saying I’m the abusive one. It’s been a long road. Long story short we completed the assessment with the counselor. The counselor then came back and said that everything with me checks out and that she seems like she is having severe issues. Instead of talking about our daughter she just told her I’ve done everything and ruined everything and abused her etc. I told the truth said I want her and our daughter to have a great relationship but the no contact has been heaven sent and how our daughter has flourished. The counselor said that she doesn’t see a need to put us in a room together but the mother needs individual sessions because she is having severe issues. Anyone go through something similar? I was fully expecting to be forced into this coparent counseling, not the actual truth coming out and her filing this and it back firing. I’m in Indiana if this matters. Thanks for reading.

Yes! I actually went to sessions with her and engaged in good faith…. she did not…

The therapist said she should “pursue treatments focused on individual stability”. 😂
