MANY THANKS for all the pocket company, it was a great help to me.

(T's waiting area has brown ceramic tiles with random grey marks in them and after a while I begin to see patterns - faces, animals, etc. I'm convinced that one of you pocket riders does some sailing, yes? because I noticed a tile that looked like open water with waves moving across it )

I was panicking that I wouldn't be able to talk to T about anything important but she got right into the hard stuff. Also we had agreed to a goal recently, wherein I would do something I would far rather avoid, and now the occasion was drawing near, & I needed a lot of reinforcement on that. She was very good to help me with that.

Only at the very end did we get to my family member's comments, and disappointingly she would only give me that T line about it's entirely up to you; you are of course free to leave at any time. This really makes me feel SO abandoned (it feels like she is saying, "OK so hit the road, what do I care" ), but our time was up, I couldn't tell her. I think I will next time.
