"It's weird. But somehow it feels better than it did before, before I held those incompatible ideas. I don't think I'm explaining it well. Something along the lines of having it dramatically thrust upon me that I can't rely on him in some ways freed me up to trust more in what I can rely on."
I know exactly what you mean. I feel the same way about my pdoc. Sometimes I think that I'm still being hugely defensive because I don't always know where the line is on whether or not he cares, how much, etc., but at this point it's easier to push him away and make my boundaries stricter than his so that I feel protected. He can't give me what I want, but he helps me to understand how I can give it to myself.
