I don't know, Cats. I so wish that her behavior is due to having some personal issues and forgetting momentarily how to be a T. I hope her vacation revitalizes her. I am shocked that she would use this technique to get rid of patients, rather than being honest, respectful, and direct with her patients. I hope I am not being overly naive in thinking that your T would not want to end an 8 year long relationship this way, that she too loves and cares for you too much to let it end this way, if that is her desire. If you think this is what she is doing, how do you feel about asking her directly?

Also, did something occur in your relationship immediately preceding T's change in behavior?
