I'm sorry you're in such a tough patch right now. I agree with some posters, however, that the T may not have been planning to fall pregnant. Therapists are individuals with a personal life outside of the consulting room, and they aren't really obliged to tell clients their long-term plans. They might not even tell their families their long-term plans. I see in your posts that your T did say that she thought a lot about you in relation to taking maternity leave. Your disappointment and feeling of betrayal is valid and real, but the T is not responsible for those feelings. If the T did something morally wrong, that would be out of order, but your reaction to a normal life event/choice in someone else's life is a mirror of your inner world, and not something they have done "to" you. I think you would be punishing yourself by never seeing a therapist again.
