I just want to welcome you to Babble. I read your story yesterday. As a mother of a daughter probably your age or close to it I tried to think about what I would say to her. I could not come of with much else except to say that if he is 12 years older and he is the professional no matter what level of training you are in the midst of getting you are still in training he is not. So therefore he is as Seldom said more to blame. You take responsibility which is admirable but don't be too hard on yourself.
Now whether or not this love would last, do we ever know that? No we don't.
I think you are wise to extract yourself from this situation for now and possible for always.
I think if you did not think something was wrong about the situation in the first place you would not have ever left. So you did what you felt was right for you. That is never a bad thing. To have space to think about what you need to do is always a good thing.
Venting is always good too.
We, at least, I want you to know judgment is not part of Babble. We just want you to be safe. As i would with my daughter I don't want you or any Babblers to get hurt. Therapy can open that door or possibility. I am glad you protected yourself.
Now I do know you are hurting because you miss him. But take the time to understand where it is coming from and let him have some space to understand himself too.Again, glad you are here and thanks for sharing.
