hankster, it involves the kind of thing you seem to find most annoying when I post about it. LOL.

Yeah, stopdog, I am totally in stopdog mode. I feel really lied to and manipulated and I'm looking for a different therapist so I can start over with someone for whom I have no feelings. If the other person is not invested in me, at least I will be talking to someone in whom I have no emotional investment either. I really think that will make my life better and keep me from endlessly repeating the cycle of caring more about the other person than that person cares about me.

The big question now (in my head anyway) is whether or not I let him know by email I am terminating and why, or just call and leave a message cancelling my appointment and then never return his calls.
