Sometimes I think that although we don't get much time with them, we get the best part of them. When my therapist's wife was there, she and the secretary were talking about how hard he is to track down. And I know I've heard him talk sharply to her on the phone. When he gets home, he's just another guy. Maybe not even as nice as the one I've got. He probably yells, is impatient, doesn't listen, and drives her up the wall just like all husbands (or fathers or mothers) do.
He's a good therapist. That's the role I want him to play in my life. I've got other people to play other roles and fill different needs.
I just want him in that role forever. Sigh.
