Thank you for posting about your lack of anger, mckell, earthmama, and gimmeice. It is helping me feel not so abnormal!

He told me "it's okay to feel angry at me", but I just don't.

I kind of also wondered if I was strange because, I like the fact that my T has other patients.

</div></font></blockquote><font class="post">Yes, me too, Mckell! I love that my T has other clients. I feel part of the community of his clients, both past and present--all the people he has helped.
