Hi, I'll be brief because a lot of old-timers already know this. There was a mutual consent physical crossing of boundaries. He eventually tried to get me to see someone else, I made a suicide attempt, he dropped me. He and I had counseling with a third party- this is a big no-no for the APA, but I didn't file a complaint because I (still) had a great deal of feelings for him. Anyway it was a mess, and despite being over 3 years ago I guess I'm still having problems completely letting go. This is the main reason I tell people on the board to be careful with the 'slippery slope'- it doesn't start out physical, you get to be 'special'- took my phone calls even if he was in session, used to call me at home on week-ends for hours, etc. it turned out just awful. take care, judy
