In reply to she sent me a card.....maybe I imagined it all?, posted by shrinking violet on May 21, 2005, at 12:07:41
Oh, wow, SV, I think you could be reading too much into her statement. My guess is that she'd be pretty upset to know that you interpret her statement as meaning that your time with her didn't mean anything to her. When I first read what she'd written, I thought it was sweet. The way I interpreted it was that she was commenting on the content of your CD (one of the gifts you gave her that she was thanking you for?), in which you talked about your feelings about her and your therapy. So, she wanted you to know that she understood what you were communicating. It sounded like a supportive message to me.
And, yeah, it would have been easier for you if she'd repeated that she cared about you a lot. Too bad she didn't do that. It sounds like you really would have benefited from her saying it again in this card. And yet, she did say it to you before. Again I think you might be reading more than is actually there. I mean, you might not, but you might. I wouldn't have drawn the same conclusions that you drew from that card, and I just wanted to let you know that, so you can consider that maybe it's not as bad as you think right now.
