I'm sorry Squiggle, I think that maybe I wasn't totally clear on everything when I made my last post. It really sounds like you have thought long and hard about all of this. Judging by what you wrote above, it sounds to me like seeing your therapist wouldn't be in your daughter's best interest either! It doesn't sound like it is just all about you and you thinking about yourself. It sounds like you are also thinking of a situation that will best allow you to be there for her as she begins to heal and face her demons, and that this situation would work best if she were with another T. This is definitely not selfish on your part. If anything, it sounds like you ARE trying to take care of your daughter while also protecting your own needs. I don't know if you can ask anything more than that of yourself!!!
