I'm not minimizing anything. I tend to urge caution when people are angry and hurt because often actions taken in those circumstances lead to consequences that people aren't necessarily prepared for. Especially when they come as a surprise in a relationship that was otherwise apparently going well. It's not a stance that I base on principle, precisely, but more on pragmatic considerations of the effects of loss.
But as it happens, I think SD has put a lot of thought into this, and she was really articulate in detailing them in another thread.
I also would be devastated if my therapist said what SD's therapist said. But everyone comes with a different background, different limits, and different ideas about what is and isn't acceptable. And I think that's ok.
