I wanted to thank you yesterday, but I just wasn't up to posting. I did spend most of the day hiding under my blanket, although no closet rocking since Wednesday night. (It does help, doesn't it KK, so reminiscent of childhood.)
Thanks for your warm wishes and funny stories and movie suggestions. When I dragged myself out of bed, I checked the board and they made me smile. I'll keep the funny therapist stories and a list of movies on hand for the next time I need them. And thanks for the cyberhugs m3.
I didn't mention and should have, that we have a long term (7 year) relationship that is basically a good one. After only 5 years I learned to trust him and it wasn't until then that I gave him the ability to hurt me. He says I've hurt him at times too, although I hadn't realized I had that power. I always think the ability to hurt is a power that is given to someone along with trust and caring, but perhaps that isn't true of everyone. And he is a good honest therapist, albeit one who gets defensive a bit too much and can be a bit insensitive. But we all have our faults.
Everything is OK now, but I'll put that in another post so that this one isn't too long.
Thanks again everyone,
Dinah
