You should be proud of yourself. You got through something really hard.

Haha no
I definitely don't need another nutter! On the plus side, my own boundaries are ruthless now. I used to cut people a LOT more slack. Possibly do need to work at finding a happy medium but oh well.
I can't pick and choose when to start with this therapist as it's NHS. I could defer from the service, but it's anyone's guess when they might have a space again, and it could be with somebody who is much less qualified. In that sense I've struck very lucky as she is quite advanced in her education, and has experience in trauma, and seems like a very earnest and steady sort of person. None of the glamour and rebellious edge that Crackpot reeled me in with.
I confess to looking at the Crackpot's facebook for the first time in MONTHS a couple of days ago. Out of curiosity. It didn't sting, I just felt a shadow of wistfulness. Nothing overwhelming. Her beauty did pull at my heart strings, her eyes still look so kind. But handsome is as handsome does.
