Thanks for sharing. I understand what you mean even if I don´t have any kids. It´s easy to suddenly feel one´s life has lost it´s meaning and that it´s hard to find new goals in life. I also think it´s easy to live through someone else to get affirmation and perhaps also love. When people leave in some way or another, it´s sometimes hard to find a replacement.

The reason why my T ended therapy is quite a long story but because I left her a couple of negative opinions on things that happened in therapy she no longer thought she was the right T for me. She meant she in a way stopped me from talking and feeling freely in therapy but I never felt that way. Now I think about contatcting this T again, see my post in the subforum "Psychotherapy" if you like or feel free to ask me more questions here.
