Thats a good question, "and then what?" Some of us who see our ts as our mothers WANT them to leave! So the stmt "im not going anywhere" is not so much a promise as it is a conversation starter. Different people have different reactions to it. My t is still waiting for me to show some tiny little sign of sadness that he is going on vacation. But for me, there is this pavlovian response of glee if he just pulls out the appointment book.
