I'm so sorry with what you are facing.

I'm sorry you're losing your T, Cinnamon after 12 years I can only imagine how much of a loss it is.
I do wonder about this though - life changes for all of us, how many of us are doing the same job now that we did 12 years ago? How long should a T commit to staying with a client? For life? You can't know why your T has taken a new job, perhaps she can't afford to live without a salary, being a T isn't paying her enough, or she needs fixed work times or whatever. Should she set her needs and her families needs aside for her clients? Would any of us do that for our work regardless of how much we cared about what we did?
12 years is a very long time and it's right that you should have time to end the relationship, and it's ok to be angry or disappointed or sad or let down or whatever. It doesn't mean you're being selfish or uncaring about her - the situation sucks, but I'm not sure she's done anything wrong either.
