Thank you, Anita. The therapist said they would schedule a future appointment with me, so I’m waiting on that. If it were meant to be, he will come back, right? If not, then so be it. I’m sure I’ll find someone else in the future (actually, I’m still stuck in the thought that I would never find anybody else, lol). It’s in the past and all of that and now it’s time for me to move on and learn from it and hopefully unfold and fix whatever is really broken with me so the next one will be better.

I never really thought that I was emotionally abandoned when I was young, but I think you are right. Emotions is a bad thing in our family. We never talk about emotions. And so my family, me and my siblings would just hold everything in until we erupt in anger and call each other names.
