Maria Lucy, I can see how much this is hurting, but I wonder if there is any way you can get the outcome you so desperately (understandably) want?
From what I understand, and please forgive me if I have this wrong, you are hoping for closure sessions at best, or an explanation at the least. But due to the very nature of then therapeutic relationship, and given the info they have shared here, it doesn't sound like you will realistically get either.
This is a T who can't or won't engage with you further, and from the scant information provided by people around him, it sounds like that may actually be in your best interests. It sounds like this person could, for whatever reason, not be able to be effective with you or may even risk being damaging to you.
As in every other realm in life, we have a right to ask the more probing questions when this happens, but we don't automatically have the right to the answers just because it's a therapeutic set up. In fact, some would argue, there is an imperative to be more boundaried.
Even if it goes as far as a complaint, I wonder if you would get much more detail about the 'why' than a carefully worded, vague statement about it being something to do with his personal life. In the therapeutic model, this would be seen (rightly or wrongly) in your best interests.
I hear people say that it's the right to stand up and be heard and empowerment that matters...but is that, in and of itself, what you really want, if you come up empty handed on either further therapeutic engagement or an explanation?
