Saltgirl-I'm sorry you are going through a difficult time and people disappear when you need them the most. It doesn't make sense when society messages say one thing then reality reveals something different. I see this on here when clients are ditched when they become suicidal. It's a cruel practice that is somehow deemed acceptable by the profession.

I think mental health workers are perhaps afraid of their own vulnerablities or run away from their own guilt; basically overcome by their own weaknessness. There are stronger people out there. I hope your next interaction is with one of them.
