That sounds awful, JD. I'm so sorry.....
I'm the last person to tell anyone to remain with their therapists (I'm in the midst of leaving mine myself for someone who hopefully seems a much better fit).
But, from what I've read of your posts, your T sounds really cool and attuned to you? I wonder if it's partly that he isn't getting what an awful space you're in? As in, you appear to be "functional" and so, he doesn't really get how much more support you might need?
I don't know what else to say except the rather cliched advice that everyone gets to perhaps talk it out? From your posts, it's sounded like what you have with your T is something truly rare -- I wonder then if you could imagine creating that same connection with another T or just going therapy-less? I don't know what your situation feels like to you but would either of those possibilities seem palatable to you?
Any way, do take care....
