It's good news that the crisis level has simmered down. I'm glad for you. No real wisdom to offer, but one thing strikes me---when you were abandoned all those times long ago, you were a child. You are an adult now, and an adult who is in a state of learning new tools for living well, tolerating distress better, and all that. So really, it isn't the same thing at all. You aren't the same person you were a year ago, and you sure aren't a little kid anymore. You will hopefuly find that you have developed new strengths and don't have to be a victim anymore in relationships. You have more choice, more freedom, more say. The situation is in some ways better now than it ever was. You are on equal terms with any T or doc--not interms of their job, but as a human being. Adult/Adult. I hope that makes sense--there is some truth in this, as I have seen it for myself. Stay well & I loved hearing back from ya. ramsea
