Dear T,
I feel horribly ungrateful saying this, but your reply really sucked. Telling me to "have an excellent day" when I said I was struggling and kept crying? That's not what I meant by "words of encouragement" or "let me know you're still out there." And the comment about your being gone for a week pushes the limits of my emotional tolerance felt a bit judge-y. Even if it's the truth. Because it wasn't just about your being away, it's what I talked about with R. I'd have likely reacted the same after a session on that same topic with you (as I have before). Plus I made it a week without contact, I hope you can recognize that as something.
