Racer,
Thanks for the analogy! I’ve got to try and help my husband understand how I’m feeling (as gently as possible) and I’ve had a bunch of good suggestions here.
I really don’t understand (and I tell my therapist this all the time) why I’m so attached to *him*. I don’t understand how it happened or why it happened. Even with everything I read here, it still baffles me and most of the time I blame myself for “letting” it happen. When I brought it up again this week, he talked a bit more than usual about my relationship with my dad and not getting exactly what I needed when I was growing up. Not necessarily news to me but interesting to hear it from him this time. Sorry...rambling.
I feel the same way about it being *my* therapy so why can’t I just work with any therapist? But, it doesn’t seem to work out so well when I actually try and think it through. So, either I deal with the attachment to my current therapist or struggle with a transfer (or both). I guess no one ever said this was easy.
Take care of yourself, too, (((Racer))). I know you have a lot going on and I hope it will all work out and you will get the care you need. It is very sweet of you to have taken the time to post to me about all of this. Thank you so very much!
Laurie
