Thanks Pinkeye and Rachel. Empathy does help.
My therapist sometimes has to interpret life for me. I've never been able to understand the ebb and flow of relationships. Most of my friends now are from high school and middle school. I even have occasional contact with elementary school friends. I'm a relationship leech. Well, I would be if I didn't watch myself very carefully and make sure I don't become a nuisance.
I just don't understand caring about people and then leaving. My therapist was trying to explain it to me today. He's been both a leaver and a left. I think I should have chosen a therapist more like me. One that never is a leaver, only a left. I picked a husband like that.
But I suppose that's a hard question to ask when interviewing a therapist.
