Claire,

You won't know how he feels about talking about how you are feeling unless you ask him. He might be concerned about you and want to hear how you are doing. I know that feeling like you're just getting in the way, and feeling like a failure. I've felt like that a lot. Usually it most comes from within because we have internalized a feeling of not being worth much. But I betch dollars to donuts that you are not really in the way as much as you feel like you are. And your problems are not worthless. You are not worthless, and it matters to you. You matter.
