JBut every now and then I think of a great "zinger" I'd like to say to him and I don't. I know it won't help to try to make him feel bad, but I asked my T why I feel this need to do that and what to do about it.
I think that it is perfectly normal. This is all out of our CONTROL. We didn't ask for it, don't want it and it is the total opposite of what makes any sense. It does not make sense to sit idly by and watch this train wreck happen. However that is exactly what we must do.
Wish I could hand you an EASY button to FIX it all but that is not going to happen.
You sound like you are working your way down the PATH. Just don't do too much of HIS work for him but continue to PROTECT yourself just like you are doing.
