Tiny,
I'm glad you reached him. I *do* know that frustration at being unable to sustain the "good" mood. And knowing that it is just their voice that soothes that tantruming inner child.
I struggle against what my head says and what my heart wants all the time. My Therapist says what yours did, "I had the time..." He is clear when he doesn't but in such a way that I don't feel rejected or that someone else is more important than I am. I always think how hard it must be for him to have to juggle to make everyone feel like they are his priority. And I do pay for calls longer than 15 minutes, so that helps ease the "I'm a burden" somewhat.
I must say it is nice to know everyone seems to struggle at some point with this type of need. *sigh* I wish none of us had to though...
