I mean, seriously. Often someone leaves a therapist after the therapist has had plenty of chances and blown them. But they always try for another chance.
It's manipulative imo: dangling in front of a client the hope of some kind of resolution.
Also, you go, LT.

Thanks, @@! Interesting that CW said the same thing... It does feel manipulative. Like if I'm leaving, I'm losing my one chance to get better or something.
It might have been different if MC had really taken ownership of what he'd done, how he'd hurt me. If he'd apologized. Like, "I can see now that I messed up, and why you were hurt by it. I'm sorry." But it still feels like he's putting things back on me. That they're things I have to work through and grow from. Stuff about how "trust" isn't a black-or-white thing.
Kind of...hm, in a paternal way, I guess...
