Thank you, Daisy! You warm words mean so much. I did have some contact with him after the "GET OUT!". He called me and asked me to come back, saying he remained "deeply committed" to my treatment. I was still so dependent and enmeshed with him that I came, but he was very cold and indifferent. He mentioned the word "termination" once, and after two weeks, kicked me out again! Looking back, I think he was forcing me to go through a mockery of a two-week termination so as to minimize the chance that I would sue him- something I wouldn't do, anyway.
On a more positive note, after I had mailed the letter, I went for my Monday appointment, and without even knowing what I had done, my analyst commented: "you seem different; your face looks different- I haven't seen you like this before" Inside, I did feel different- I didn't feel like anyone's victim any longer.
I'm so glad you are posting more, Daisy. I just love the accounts of the conferences you attend, as well as the books and articles you recommend. It was very exciting to hear that you had "met someone". I hope that relationship is deepening and beginning to bring you happiness.
