I got an email from the other person's therapist today (in response to one I had sent to her). The lady who made the hurtful comment to me is quitting therapy altogether now because of everything that has happened. I'm having a hard time not feeling bad about this.  I did respond to the therapist and tell her that I was sorry to hear that J may quit therapy. I don't know what to think right now.

"What is Real? asked the Velveteen Rabbit one day.
"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."
"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.
"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
