I know, right?!? I do feel like I'm the problematic element, based on the dynamic with our therapist. It's both exhausting AND most defeating. It certainly does not help me to feel good about myself OR strengthened in any way. So, I have to do that on my own and for myself instead.

This new therapist is supposed to call me today... I hope to hear from her.

And thank you for the encouragement.
