Oh I know! Sorry! It just made me think about some stuff with my t that's all.

As much as current T annoys the crap outta me, I am glad that she acknowledged that her behavior really got my goat (although yes, the intensity of my response was a bit much).
Was her response perfect? Hell, no. Did I leave with a solid sense that she could deal with all of my emotions? Good gawd, no.
But, I did leave with a sense that although neither of our responses were optimal, there was "enough" between us that we could work it out somehow.
(Akin to ATAT's disclosure -- I'm rather drunk and it doesn't help that there's a brewery with a rather convivial atmosphere right across my apt).

It's hard for me to have conflicting feelings. I want to know how I feel, one way or the other lol. She is a good t and she does work with it when I bring strong feelings either way and when I'm angry at her. Last time I shared my anger at her (and my fear that she would kick me out because of it) she said that we would work through whatever happened there. And that she has a thick skin and she can take it. I just sometimes don't believe her.
Most of this is all in my mind I am sure. I'm really not even mad anymore that I can't go next week because of the change in my day. It's a 3 day weekend for me right now (off Monday), and I'm only working half a day on Thursday then going out of town for 4 nights with h, so I'm choosing to be more excited about that!! So what if I can't see her next week. This is work that I need to do MYSELF anyway, with h and son, up until we leave on Thursday. SHE can't do it for me. So I'm good.
