When T2 asked me what I thought I had accomplished with ten years of therapy, that's what I answered. I used to really not care in any significant way, except maybe for a dog or two here and there. I had walled myself off from pain and taken a very rational view of relationships. I didn't really give a rat's *ss.
And therapy taught me to care again, to feel again. To want relationships as something other than logical mutually beneficial relationships. To feel like the payoff was worth the risk of pain.
Now it feels like a cruel joke.
