I'm not sure if that's useful or not. My stomach did a flip while I read this. So uncomfortable
Thank you, Dandylin. I apologized to him multiple times and confessed to having bipolar and having been triggered by my husband's actions. I also told him I wasn't using my illness as an excuse, but just trying to explain. He told me I don't have to apologize anymore, that he's "turned the page" on it, and has told absolutely no one about what happened because confidentiality is "sacred" to his practice. I think he was approaching all of this from a legal standpoint whereas I was looking at it as a friendship issue more than anything. He said he'd always be concerned about my safety but needed to stay detached. His emails asking me to stop we're very cold and legalistic, and I felt thoroughly "dressed-down", but maybe he felt he had to do it that way. I think he may have been worried that if I kept on revealing more info to him he might have to report to child services, although my husband has never abused our son. Anyway, it's complicated - even more so than this, but I don't want to write a tome. I feel so f***ing crazy for having done all of this. Thank you so much for your support.
