Skittles,
I'm so sorry it's gone like this. I've been following your struggle with your T. The anger and hurt are plain to see from your post, and I'm sure they feel just awful. It's such a shock to the system to feel betrayed or left with no support by that one person we figure should always be there...
I don't know. Maybe she really is sincere from her side, in that the issues she mentioned she is so sure of, she can't compromise at all, as a therapist, and still live with herself. OTOH, you make a good point about her own stuff, etc. Seems there must be a middle ground somewhere. I fear she "missed the boat" so to speak, about why you were trusting and telling her more, as you said. I know it made you even angrier, but I also think it is a good sign, in a a way, that she would even feel compelled to say she's still "there for you." To me, that means she's not so frustrated she wants to "be done with you" completely (although to you it DOES seem that way)It seems she cares a lot, but has come to a point she feels stuck.
I wish I knew what else to say. I hate that this is so harsh....I always vote for compromise and gentleness. :-( Hope you keep posting - this thread might be overlooked up here at first....(((Skittles)))
