Agree, and that's what really messed me up when mind left, the no notice. He was basically like "I'm leaving in the morning" and I spent the entire session in a state of shock basically... and I sobbed when I was walking out. I would have been better with prep. He didn't have much choice as he was forced to go by his work.... BUT he told me about 5 days after he knew and I told him, he should have at least emailed or texted me. He didn't seem to understand.... I did ok with it but it was still hard to deal with.
