Yeah, I feel like I'm renting a friend sometimes too! It's pathetic! I pay $100 a week for that. But my T is there for me in ways friends are not, and I know she cares. I do mean something to her! She wouldn't lie about it. But she cares because I'm her job. She once said we wouldn't know each other if she weren't my T. That's obvious, I know. I always remember what my first T said about our relationship. It's different from friendship or any other relationship, but different does not make it LESS! Still, the whole situation sucks, I agree!!
