stormy, I'm so very, very sorry. (((((stormy and littles)))))

I think she should not be sharing some of those things with you. You appeared to need two sessions a week, so that's what she provided you. Where is the boundary violation here? If she only wanted to see you once a week, she should have told you that was her policy. I don't see that it is helpful or healing at all to tell a client something like this after the fact.

That she didn't keep good enough boundaries with me and that's why it hurts so much.

If it were me, I would probably have a few more sessions with the T, maybe 3, to get some closure, say good-bye, etc., and then I would start with a new T, preferably one a little younger who is not nearing retirement age. I would find it hard to "put my all" into therapy with the retiring T for a half year, knowing she was not going to be continuing as my T. Of course, you have your littles to consider too, and 3 sessions might not be enough for them to say good-bye, or maybe it would. At very least, I would try to resolve with T some of my feelings of being abandoned and rejected by her comments on the two sessions a week, accepting emails, etc. That was very hurtful.
