> I hope that's not the way you feel all the time, but, clearly, you really do feel that awful quite often. To take just one of the things you mentioned: don't you think that your children are conflicted about their relationship with you, rather than being totally negative, as you think during your worst times? What they would probably love most is a good relationship with you. Even when it isn't that good, they probably hope for things to be better.

> The relationship with your last therapist is so clearly a huge source of pain. Is there a possibility of forming a new therapeutic relationship? That would probably be the single best thing you could do to begin moving out of the nightmare you have been in for so long.I have a relationship just starting, with a counsellor not a therapist, a female .. as someone mentioned, perhaps it is not going to be psycho-dynamic enough though. I don't know. I don't know about anything anymore, I am un-done.
