On sweetie. It's good to hear from you, but my heart is breaking for you. I truly believe this man is exploiting you yet again. I wish I could tell you why he needs to do this. But I don't know. I do know that he is not doing it for YOU, but for HIM.
I'm sure there was a tremendous amount of curiousity about what it would be like. And of course hearing from someone how much they want you and care about you is intoxicating. Who doesn't want to hear that? But please remember how much pain he has caused you in the past. And if things feel all muddled to you, and no wonder!, please remember that objective parties determined that his actions were unethical and actually harmful to you. This is not the profile of the kind of man who is right for you. You deserve someone coming into this free and clear, someone who does not take advantage of the difference in power and the special trust developed between a therapist and client, and someone who has enough honor to take his chosen profession seriously.
You were so strong in handling this before. Please tell us how we can help here at Babble. And please, if you have any opportunity to do so, please find a caring, understanding, and ethical therapist to support you throught this.
Do post to let us know how you are. Even if you don't agree with my thoughts on this, I do care about you and want to know how you are.
