I wonder that maybe its *me,* I mean she means no harm (though that doesn't mean I'm not being harmed anyway), and I have jumped and run from people before in my life (like friends, boyfriends) and I have sometimes regretted it..like they seemed too black and white of decisions that I've made and I want to be able to work *with* people and not just run from them.
I have been in this exact position with therapists—two of them at least. I ended up leaving in both cases. It was the right decision. Didn’t miss them at all.

I have been in this exact position in two marriages. I ended up leaving in both cases. It was the right decision. Painful, yes, but right.

Like you, I wanted to be able to work *with* people. To say I’m a reasonable person, I’m fair, I’m forgiving.

Life’s too short for that shinola. Trust your instincts. Trust yourself.
Thanks for this!
