I am headed into one lonely weekend. My therapist is being a jerk again. He refuses to help me resolve this. Refuses to even make it okay that I would ever give her up either. Tells me "you can't give her up, she's been through too much". And so here I am stuck. It's hopeless. I just want to die. But I want to save myself. And I don't know what to do. He refused to talk over a plan for the weekend for me. I am holding on by the very last thread and he knows this. And he's just sitting back and watching me.

Why not use your dog as a service dog? If you are in the USA, there is no national certification required. The animal needs to do at least 3 things for you that you cannot do for yourself. There are PTSD support animals as well..which your dog may qualify for....
in the USA, service dogs are required to be allowed in centers, hospitals, restaurants etc. http://www.dogster.com/forums/servic.../thread/699322

I have a service dog and a small part of how he helps me is calms me by "climbing" onto my lap (head and neck and front paws) and lying there until I realize I was upset etc. and regain composure.
Good wishes on this!
