WAW - Very confused and devestated - pt 2

[confusedinpa]

I just talked to my therapist and she said that I should call her and tell her. She coached me not to sound needy, but just approach as a need to vent. She had said in the past the I used to shield my wife from this type of news/info and just deal with it on my own (which would cause more issues).

So I called her and told her I was having a really tough day as I just got out of meeting that talked about accross the board paycuts. She said she was sorry to hear about that. I asked her how her day was. She said better than mine (I guess it was her way to inject some humor in there). It was odd as I didn't feel any emotion or support in her tone. Very painful.

I still have a pit in my stomach as it feels likes she has given up. My therapist said I must recognize that there is nothing I do or say is going to affect her decision. I must remember that.

It's still tough
