It actually got a little bit harder before it got easier. Those of you who have kids know that wavering feeling sometimes, when they're trying to get out of trouble, or convince you they're sick enough to stay home from school... I could totally understand Stockholm Syndrome during that phone call, even though everything he said was the COMPLETE OPPOSITE of what I knew I had experienced. My lifeboat thought was, "a good therapist wouldn't be telling me to ignore my gut," and then I pictured a portcullis coming down between him and me, and then I delivered my final line. He went completely silent for the first time in the whole conversation, and I thought, my voice must have sounded different when I said that.
Later that day I was emailing with my H about the kids' schedule for the week, and I mentioned that the IC had called and I had talked to him. He said, "I hope that wasn't too painful. Let me know if you want to talk about it."
