Yes I do experience grief. I did not say I have no connection to anything. I do not understand connecting to a therapist.

An admission! Stopdog experiences attachment! I fu cking knew it! I would ask you what you get out of your attachment to your pets. Use that as a starting point, and really give it serious thought. Then see if any of those virtues might be helpful in a relationship with someone who is an expert on human psychology and someone who is trained to nurture wounded people who's wounds originated in being poorly nurtured in their first go around.
