No mental issues, but it's clear she's been under work stress and that's really shown through directly (her saying so) and indirectly (seems somewhat more withdrawn from the interactions emotionally).

It's honestly been a little frustrating as I am under tremendous work stress and deal with a sleep disorder. I've spent over a decade putting others' health above my own. So the little time I get for my health I need to be able to be the focus. But it is what it is.

I guess I don't see anything as absolute abuse without context. I was just saying that it happened to me and I don't consider that I was abused - the poster mused about how the therapist could say they experienced it as not abuse and I was saying I did too. If it happened to someone else who does feel they were abused - I would not tell them they were not - why would someone get to insist I was?

Hey Folks, please let's stay on topic okay? Let's not go off on the subject of what is and what isn't abuse. The topic is, "Does your T have any mental issues him-/herself?"

Thanks so much!
Thanks for this!

attentionThis is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.
