Oh ShortE, what a rough experience.
I think you are really at the beginning of the termination process and it will take quite some time. I don't think he should pull away all at once.
I also wonder if you're going into session expecting to feel unsupported and then find it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. Maybe I'm wrong...
I think it's also really hard to have that experience and then find you need to go five weeks until your next appointment. I wish you could see him sooner and talk about how the process of termination is feeling to you. It might be hard for him to guage exactly how you're feeling about it.
I really think termination should be about finding ways to walk away from your safe place of your own free will, and maybe learn to find safe places outside therapy. If it feels as if he's snatching the safety away from you, I think there's something wrong, and it's not you!
And you really are NOT a loser!

I'm also glad to hear your husband is being such a star.
