Therapy was therapeutic again. She said she doesn't think she needs to see me weekly because it seems like I've got everything together. She said what I'm doing does seem a bit extreme - but she thinks that I'm probably channeling a lot of my emotions into my goal, and that her only concern is that when the 'war' ends, what happens to all that pent up frustration and emotion?
She kept me an additional 20 minutes today, and she said that normally she deals with people who are falling apart, and yet she put it bluntly "You've been through hell for a long time - and you are more together than most people who never have to deal with anything."
She kept poking around the edges, trying to see if any part of what I was saying wasn't genuine, but she seemed completely convinced of my sincerity and goals in my relationship.
She did tell me that individuals with BPD that she works with are not able to form solid relationships - and that if I ever did take W back it would be like becoming the caretaker of a child who would be 'acting out' like this consistently from now on.
"You can't reason someone out of a position they didn't reason themselves into."
