>I'm sorry. I may be dense but I can't see how you get from point A to B here. How does pdoc saying she's disappointed in you (or more likely in something specific that you did) mean that she doesn't care about you? Or expect you to do better in the future? If anything it seems to imply the opposite. People we don't care about can't disappoint us.
I'm sorry it hurts. I think it would hurt even if you didn't interpret it as meaning she didn't care at all. But perhaps you might find it bearable if you think about it as her saying only that she is disappointed in you THIS TIME with it's implication that next time you will do better.
