Susan you don't need to apologize. I probably didn't express myself well. My secretary has no reason to feel guilty. What I meant was that I have to curb my urge to try to make her feel guilty, sort of like the little kid who says to her mother "if you really loved me...." I know it would be very counterproductive on my part because she obviously would resent a job where she was made to feel guilty whenever she left.
At one part during the week I was speaking with her on the phone (No I'm not the one who called her..), and I realized that I really did feel like a temporarily abandoned child - it was this transference reaction which caught me so off guard.
