FWIW I think you've outlined the pros and cons of leaving your T quite clearly. Leaving now would cost too much. I mean emotional cost and cost in terms of time. Both are crucial issues and they deserve at least equal weight when you think about cost in terms of money.
Could you tap into the college money for now (tough one, I know) as you continue to explore other ways to pay (ie, charging more for your services in your own profession)? It won't be forever. You could keep track on paper and make it a personal loan you make for yourself. If you stay with therapy, you will be able to proceed at your own pace exploring ways to pay back what you've "borrowed" from the college fund.
This seems like just too charged a situation for anybody to have to make such a major decision under such pressure at such an emotional time of year within such a short time period.
I agree with EE I think it was who said she'd rather have a healthy and happy mom than a financed college education -- and that it would have saved EE herself a ton of therapy bills! good point!
six years is a long time. I give you a lot of credit for staying with it. I'm sure that wasn't easy at times, especially given your tendency to hold it in so very tightly. I hope you can work something out.
