I happened to see my ex T while I was in the waiting room yesterday with my son waiting for my other son to come out of his session. My T happened to be leaving. I tried avoiding her last week and i sort of placed myself in the waiting room out of her view them as well. This time she was leaving and I heard her stop and she said her hellos to my son and I which was nice. I didn't expect that from her and although it was somewhat awkward because somehow I feel like I owe her an explanation or something as to why I quit. I briefly explained myself then but I'm not sure if she knew that I was actually serious. At the time I was at a crucial point in my life full of drama and changes. Overall it was a nice of her. i didn't want her to think that I was upset at her or bitter when I quit. i wouldve absolutely made the effort to stay if her response was different.

I recall, quite a few years ago now, during a period where I was seeing a Nurse Practitioner, I once happened to see her at a local grocery store. My first instinct was to go up & say hello. But then I thought... she's no doubt on her way home after a long day at work. The last thing she needs is to be "buttonholed" in the grocery store by one of her patients. I've always been glad I walked away...

I hear ya. I'm the same way. I always feel like a bother to people. Now I usually don't text or email unless someone initiates it first. I text my kids T only to address things in session. If she wouldn't have said hello I would've never said hello first. I don't like having people feeling obligated to go out of their way especially if they don't want to. She initiated and I welcomed it as best as I could whole trying not to be triggered. It's especially odd when things end at a point where you don't know ho ether other person has viewed the whole scenario. I basically said that I quit and she said good luck but how she actually felt I have no idea about.
