Thanks so much for your support. I am so sad right now, I didn't, I don't want to hurt my T. I know he can take care of himself, but I know this will be hard to hear from me. I adore him so much and think the world of him. Plus it hurts me to do this, but I feel I need to take care of me, and I need more than just supportive therapy. It hurts that he doesn't remember some major things about me, things we spend many sessions talking about. I know he can't help it, but it hurt me because I feel like he doesn't even know me now. He is also past the age of retirement, so it might be time for that anyway if he this continues.
When I asked him if he has been having memory problems a couple of months ago, he told me he asked his doctor and his doctor said there was nothing wrong, it was just temporary. He did seem kinda sensitive to this because he never even asked what he forgot when it came to our therapy. I know if I quit, and tell him really why, it will upset him, I know this is a fear he has of being not able to continue his work because of his age. He was fine before this, very sharp for his age. I just don't want to hurt him, he is someone I care very much for. I am in tears, I have an appointment tomorrow or a last minute one today if someone cancels. I just don't know if I can do this.
