Nikki,

Sorry you are hurting--this is a great post & thread.

I supose the best way to handle these inevitable hurts are to discuss them with T like the adults that we are (LOL). But, of course, in the relationship with T, we are rarely adult-like and often child-like. Then we become conscious of our behavior and feel ashamed to express the hurt.....arghhhh, so difficult, isn't it? I was late for the first appointment I had with T because I got lost on the way there. He did not extend the session. However, once or twice he has extended the session when I needed it and when he was able to because there wasn't anyone waiting. The more our relationship grows, however, the better I get at communicating my needs to T.

Sunrise,
I was also surprised and disappointed to hear that T was divorced and don't quite know what to make of this information, but feel that it has an effect on my ability to take marriage advice from him. I imagine it will come up when it needs to!
