Just and update, I called my T today because I just couldn't stand it. I rarely call him, so it wasn't a problem.

I told him that I had been devastated when he told me he was angry. He said that this is something I need to work on, because it is a part of every relationship. People get angry and then move on. I told him that I had difficulty moving on like others (OCD). He said that he can see the pattern of someone getting angry at me and me launching an attack at them because I think it is the end of the relationship. So I push them away before they can do it to me. Wow. I wonder how I made it this far without knowing that I had to correct this.

I did tell him that I thought it was poor timing for him to say what he did. He said, "When isn't it poor timing?" I guess that's true. I didn't mention the hippo, yet. I'll deal with that tomorrow. How interesting, huh?
