On one hand I can't emotionally tolerate bring around her bc it stirs up too much in me, too many memories I work very hard to suppress.
But on the other hand I feel terrible about my cowardly desire to cut her off and save myself. She hasn't done anything wrong, she's as much a victim as I was, if not more so.
--I did end up talking to my professor/program chair. I had decided not to tell her anything but I went to the apt anyway, and when she asked what I wanted to talk about I said nothing, that I had changed my mind.
And we talked about other stuff instead and then she asked again what I wanted to tell her and again I said I changed my mind but somehow over the span of the hour she got it out of me, and in hindsight I'm really not sure how. She's very sneaky, lol.
I like her very much but I won't see her again outside class bc she inspires diarrhea of the mouth, she just makes me want to tell her things.

I wish your your t was like this professor. I am sorry about your sad experiences
. I don't want to discourage you. Hope I did not offend you. What did you do prior to this? I just speak from experience having colleagues over the years who were not suitable for a job but thought since its their passion they should go for it.
At the end some got fired some quit including quitting in the middle of the day and some just suffered a day after day until again had to quit or got fired. They didn't want to face that it is a wrong profession for them
. I don't want people to go into wrong professions. I'd rather people find something that matches ability and passion. Plus I would hate people spend or borrow money for degrees they might not use.
Good luck with whatever you decide
