Is it possible your therapist was trying to make a "light" observation to see how you would react? It sounds like it was a question, not his opinion of how much, or how little, you should go to therapy.
My therapist generally leaves frequency to the client. Going more doesn't mean you are "worse" -- at least that is what he tells me. It is about the frequency of what works for the individual, what they can afford, what they can give time to and how deep they want to go. There are times when life is more stable. That doesn't mean you don't still have lots to work on - in fact it becomes working on stuff instead of crisis management. But if you are saying, "I don't have much to talk about" he may want you to know that you don't *have* to come 2x per week.
Seems like a good thing to talk about. Why do you feel so abandoned and like it isn't within your power to keep your sessions? Do you think he wants you to be easy?
I hope you can find some peace this weekend and talk about all this on Monday.
