Myrto, I understand your feelings because I went through something similar with my T. She started out by answering every email, even answering between my lines so she wouldn't miss anything. I think this went on for about a year. Then I started getting upset because she wrote shorter replies, and I became disappointed. When I discussed it with her, she decided emailing wasn't good for me. She said I could email but she wouldn't answer. That was terrible for me, so she decided she would answer once during the week. I think she went back to no responses at all soon after that.

I think it was like that for about 2 years! Then my H got sick and I asked again if she would answer because I needed her more during the diagnosis and hospital visits. She came through and answered me most of the time. Now it's evolved to my emailing her a few times a week and she answers usually only once. I've learned to accept the way it is.

I was devastated when my T stopped replying to emails even though I had told her that her replies were getting me too frustrated. At the same time she took away holding my hand. I don't think she understood how awful that was for me. I had to cope with the loss of two important ways T and I connected. I think that made me MORE dependent on her, not less. I'm sorry, Myrto, that your T disagrees. Now that I know I can receive email responses, I rarely need them.

I hope you can work this out with your T!!
