well, i think i'm going to stick it out and stay in therapy. i guess T's response was good enough even if not quite what i'd hoped for. a big thanks to all of you who offered understanding and advice. i really appreciate it. now back to our regularly scheduled drama-free therapy.

edit to add: i think i might start going to ACA again as well. i'm glad i had that as an alternative if i bailed on T but i may use it instead as backup support. there is something about a group that i find really helpful.
