Part of me wants him to just reassure me that none of theme will happen (well, he can't know about the thing in trigger warnings), but I also appreciate his not making promises he's not sure he could keep. |
Yes your T sounds smart and careful and very ethical
Imagine if he said “LT I would give you a full year advance if I moved,” then a month later said he was leaving forever... you would also be “disoriented,” a mild way to put it
For people with cptsd and other attachment problems, this is a total nightmare that could deter them from seeking help in the future
