That sounds awful. I'm so sorry that you're dealing with not being able to see your therapist at the same time that you're dealing with major health issues.

Did you tell him why you were leaving? Did he not offer any alternatives? If he can't provide a sliding-scale type of fee, could you ask him for referrals to someone who might be able to? I know it's not the same, but it would at least give you some support as you're going through everything else...

I'm really sorry that he acted indifferent when you left. That's really surprising and cruel on his part. I had a therapist that kicked me out after I was diagnosed with something that he couldn't deal with, and when I went in for a final session and to ask some questions, his demeanor was so different - it's like he had pulled himself back and was not there at all to talk to me. It was bizarre, and horrible. I'm sorry that you had to go through something similar.

Hope things turn around for you soon...
