Dinah, What has happened with your therapist? I apologize if I've missed posts about this, but I thought you had a pretty good relationship with him.

I'm probably not the one to give advice on this. I don't quite get the concept of appropriate emotional distance myself. I think I tend to put up walls, because otherwise, I take on others' problems. My therapist has tried to explain the appropriate attitude to me on being open but not too permeable, but I don't get it yet.

Have you given yourself permission to "divorce" people though? I firmly believe there are no obligatory relationships, even to family members.
