Maybe not this week, but I am going to gently suggest that you try to meet with her at least one more time face-to-face and talk this out. You may be absolutely right and she is going through something in her private life, but given your previous relationship, I think you owe it to yourself to really try and find out. Sometimes taking the step you did will be the push needed to open up the discussion more. There have been times in my therapy that I read into everything my therapist is doing and decide that his intention is to "make me grow up now." When I finally express this, I'm usually wrong, but he can see why I would interpret things that way. So we both learn. My instinct is always to fold up and protect myself from more hurt. But if I did that, I wouldn't ever be able to work through the tough spots.
Please know that I'm not suggesting that you are misinterpreting things, or that it is all about you. I'm just saying that losing this important relationship without a final discussion would be very sad.
I know you are scared and hurting. Please try to follow through with the ultra-sound. Tell the three-year old that you will take care of her and she can color when you get home. No one is going to hurt her. We are all with you in spirit.
Be kind to yourself.
Hugs -- Daisy
