Oh Dinah, I’m so sorry you’re having such a rough time.

I know nothing about Klonopin, but I do know that alcohol only makes it harder to cope with day-to-day stuff. And I can understand why you might think about buying a gun, but do think of your son.

I’m sure you don’t want to see another therapist; you want your own therapist, and yet if it isn’t possible to see your therapist as often as you’d like, perhaps it might be worth considering seeing someone else on a short-term basis. You wouldn’t have the same relationship, but you might be able to find someone you can trust enough with some of the things that are less pressing; just to give you a bit of relief.

Is it at all possible to take your son with you at the time your therapist can meet you? Is there anywhere he could sit and read perhaps? Is he at a stage where he can be left unsupervised for an hour? Or is there any kind of childcare available? (I’m wondering what you would do with him if you were working at the moment – there must be couples who both have to work, so perhaps there is a solution). I know I’m grasping at straws and you’ve probably already thought of anything I could suggest.

I’m absolutely sure your therapist won’t forget you. He can’t give you what you want and need at the moment, but I do believe he’s still committed to the relationship and that he wants to be as available to you as possible in the circumstances. But of course it’s hard getting through this time when everything is so uncertain.

Take good care of yourself, Dinah. We love you very much and we’re always here for you.

Tamar
