Yup. I actually left a T because of that exact issue. It started out gradually, an occasional phone call from one of her kids that she *had* to take to make sure they were ok. Those were like 30 second conversations. I didn't mind. But then it started happening EVERY time I saw T, and she answered EVERY call (always from her kids) and the conversations ended up being longer than 30 seconds. She always apologized afterward, but it didn't change. I think my breaking point was when she answered the phone like four times in one appointment (mind you, these were 45 minute appointments, not very long in the first place) cause her kids were arguing about something.
That was one of about 5 red flags that prompted me to leave this T. I never had the courage to address it with her, and I kind of wish I did, but it's too late now.
