I hear you that you are very very mad and very very hurt. I would be too, slamming into the therapeutic boundary is awful, just awful. I've face-planted against it more times than I can count and it has left me bloody (figuratively) on several occasions.
I bet he is upset too, in fact I bet he is really really upset. After 11 years who wouldn't be? My guess is that he is hiding behind his therapeutic neutrality while he processes the notion that you might be leaving. If this is correct, then his behavior makes perfect sense. It's not easier to take, but it at least is more understandable.
I hope he calls you to ease your mind, but if he doesn't he's probably just thinking about how to help you with your hurt, and his hurt and the hurt of the situation.
But if you want me to come down and kick his therapeutic butt for you, I'll absolutely do that as well. ;)
Take care of yourself. Kiss your dogs for me.
Maddie.
