Chuckle.
When you left, who paid whom?
I'm sorry, I am not really finding this situation funny except that it reminded me of a couple of phone calls and one session with my therapist before my distress became great enough to preempt his for a while. And I really did feel like I was paying his bill as just another part of taking care of him, since the focus was on him. It was just that one session, thank heavens. And seeing him was therapeutic. Heck, maybe even feeling like I was coping better than he was had its therapeutic side.
But clearly you're in a better place than she is right now, and it's hard to conduct therapy from that vantage point.
And then you increased how much I admire you even more by realizing the dysfunction in this and asking for referrals. I think that's wonderful.
Kudos, many kudos, Clearskies.
I hope that blasted hurricane misses you, weakens substantially, and makes an even bigger turn than they predict and floats harmlessly out to sea.
"Wilma"!!! Can you believe it? Already up the W's. And they're saying we're only partway through the twenty year hurricane cycle. Hopefully we're at the peak.
