I've been sleeping since yesterday afternoon. My Petunia is the only reason I'm not asleep. She's refusing to leave me , growls at my husband when he tries to feed her, and won't be lured away with treats. She knows something is wrong. I had to get up to feed her.
It's easier to be angry with him than to think he's dying.
I looked up the replacement, and when I saw that his specialty was the same as my therapist developed, sex addiction,I remember he mentioned him. Not in any terms that would make me think he'd suggest him for me. More in terms of envy that this guy had grown a large practice and hired therapists to work under him. Someone, I assume with the resources to add my therapists clients.
He gave me a couple of other names years ago, as people he thought might understand me, but I'm not planning to even see if they are still in business. I refuse to go to therapy to try to undo the damage therapy caused. Grief doesn't last forever. Bitterness and distrust might.
I've known for years that my therapist is not strong in crisis. I handled Katrina better than he did. He panicked, and took a job in Europe, leaving his wife to deal.
