This never really came up for me, though I suspect it would have had my T not needed to retire. I went to him in crisis, and realized more stuff after that. But we were reaching a point when there wasn't much to revisit, and while there might have been an issue or two left unexamined, they weren't things I wanted to deal with at that time. And I had not too long before taken an 8 month break. But this was after almost 11 years.

I think we both came to realize in the last year or so of therapy that what I really wanted going forward in my life was a Father more than a therapist, and he was comfortable with that.
