Dear T,
Maybe this isn’t about Ex-MC so much at all. Maybe it’s your suggestion that I could see backup T about addiction stuff instead of you Monday that’s really triggering me. I know you’re likely just trying to help. But it feels a bit like you’re pawning me off. Like I’m too much. Why can’t you just ask her one or two of those questions and get back to me? I don’t want to see her instead of you. I need your support right now, not that of someone I talked to on the phone once. I mean, if you were going to be away, then sure. But you’re not, at least not next week, because we already have those appointments on the books. I think maybe this is a paternal thing, which I rarely get with you, so that may have been why I jumped to him, especially with the basketball. But I think it’s more that this feels a bit like rejection. Which you might not understand. Or maybe you would. I don’t know, I just know it hurts. No matter how good your intentions are.
