Ok, here I go again but T is taking the week of Christmas off for vacation.

Last week during a phone session, I asked him when he was taking off for Christmas and he told me. I said I would begin worrying now about his vacation. He said, "Oh that's interesting..." GRRRRRRRR

I want to say that I will be okay and I will, but I will be worrying inside.

I want to say that it will be fine but I know it won't. Somewhere deep down I will be thinking about him as I visit with my family.

I want to go with him. Will I fit in his suitcase?

I'm stomping my feet and making faces at him for the next two weeks. So there! YOU CANNOT KEEP LEAVING ME MR T!

another damned vacation

Haha, MissC, I like that photo!

Yes, it is hard. If you're anything like me, there will be a disconnect between what you know you should say/want to feel (It's fine) and what you actually feel about him being away (Not fine at all).

My T has been away for 2 months, one more to go. Now I've sort of let it go, but at first, it did occupy my thoughts a lot. I don't know how the T relationship becomes so all-consuming, but I definitely relate to what you said about those thoughts staying with you, even when you're doing "normal" family stuff. I don't know how to make it stop, unless I numb out completely. My T says that with time it will get easier to find that balance. Sorry I don't have any good advice, but I hear you.

Oh that sucks, I have been too chicken to ask my T if she is taking anytime off this holiday season, she took two weeks last year.

Somehow, miraculously, although T is taking a ton of days off, I will still manage to have a weekly session. He is off every day during the last week of December EXCEPT for my birthday! There's a happy birthday present

I guess that's one advantage to being down to once a week....when he is gone, I miss less sessions. Huh. I think I'm kind of reaching there. lol
