aw, hon, I don't think you're exaggerating. And you're most welcome--I'm glad the support helps! Seesaw did make a great point about expectations.

Glad you are thinking of ways to possibly respond to your friend who made you feel used and that it made you feel better.... if it were me, I would probably avoid any additional communications, but you can always confront the matter too. Whichever way is most comfortable for YOU.

You could always tell your T exactly why you wish to quit and see what she says. Perhaps she will respond favorably and you will want to stay. Who knows?

And yes, I have found with family and others that when I just accept them as they are and how they are, it is much easier.
