It always hurts when you fight with your loved ones. Do you think this is something that can be "patched up" in the future, after things settle down a bit?
I know that I fight with my mom often and say I'll never talk to her again, but I often end up calling her a couple of weeks later to try to fix the situation. Do you think this is a possibility? I always try my best to heal hurt feelings, especially with those I love dearly.... Just a bit of advice..
Now, about your therapist... Have you ever called her on the weekend? Have you discussed the weekend calling policy? I'd take the email as a sign that it's her SOP to not call clients on the weekend, not just you in particular. On the bright side, at least she emailed you back to let you know she wouldn't be calling.
I'd discuss it with her and find out her policy for weekend calls. Also, find out if she's trying to enforce stricter boundaries with you, or if it's just standard policy not to talk to clients on the weekend.
I'm sorry she wasn't there for you when you needed her. But remember, you always have other support methods and systems. We're here for you. You can always post on Social as well... We'll listen! That I can promise!
