Yes, Dee, I do feel that my first therapist abandoned me. She neglected me emotionally - much the same as my mother has done for my whole life. But it is easier for me to forgive my mother - she simply doesn't have the equipment to be emotionally present. My old therapist is quite capable of being emotionally present. She should have addressed the issues that were causing our stalemate, rather than withdrawing into a superficial relationship. Her inaction felt very much like abandonment.
