Hi PG... I'm sorry you are facing such a long break. And it's worse when you leave with trauma hanging in mid-air that you ran out of time to process with T. That's why I would avoid saying anything difficult before my T would go on vacation. Shopping and ice cream can help but also reaching out to others and talking on here and doing things with friends. Try to stay busy, journal each day so you can share your thoughts with your T and know that you will survive this. I know that does not take away the pain of her leaving... I would hate when people told me that...that I would survive his vacation.

To put things in perspective... I would be happy right now with a 5 week break because I have not seen my T in a month since he terminated me via email and I will see him for a termination meeting in the next week or so... and if I cannot convince him to see me on a limited basis while I work with another T... then that will be the last time I see him.

So that's how I know you can do this. We are here for you until she comes back and it will be fine. BTW, what's your favorite ice cream?

Hugs
TN
