Dear MC,
Definitely wasn't expecting you to call in response to that e-mail--and certainly not at 10 p.m. (almost didn't answer, but was local number not in my phone--were you at the office?) Did you sense that my transference was fading and were trying to fix that? I do feel a bit better about you now, I suppose, since you took the time to call and discuss it with me. So, thanks. What you said did help a bit, at least in explaining your perspective and why you said what you did on Monday. I think I get it. Like you briefly mentioned on the call, it's like the teaching your son to ski thing... You're just trying to help me to not be dependent on anyone--not on you or on H. It's just hard...
Love,
LT
P.S. Hope it wasn't obvious I'd had a couple beers earlier... I know I was cursing more than usual!
