It seems my son's play therapist thinks that given the current situation in New Orleans, it's better for us to move even if my son thinks it's not what he wants. That long term kids around here will be continually retraumatized by small losses for the next five to ten years.
So that leaves just my therapist as a reason to stay here, and I guess it would be selfish for me to insist to stay here for that reason.
I know we're going to try phone sessions, and I'll come here as often as I can to see him. But I'm realistic enough to know that that won't work. At least it should be more of a drifting away than a traumatic ripping.
Sigh.
How can there be this person that has been so important to me for a quarter of my life. The mother I always wished I had. And it will just *end*. How can that be?
I know people divorce. And people move away from their parents. But that's a bit different because you stay in touch and you're still family. How can there just be nothing after a quarter of my life with someone? Someone I love so much? It's like ripping out a part of me.
