SD - I really have to agree with JM on this one. I can't even begin to imagine the difficulty of dealing with the needs of the alters, in addition to the possibility of ending such a long-term relationship like you have with your T.

I'm also hoping there's some way you can continue with her, and also get the help you need. I think you're right that dual therapy might be a good option. Have you talked with your T about that?

I've only known my son's T for a couple of years, and wasn't really dependent on her for more than 5 months, but having to part ways was one of the most painful things I've ever gone through. 18 years - I can't even imagine. I am able to see her at least once a month because we're involved in a parent support group, and I think just knowing I would be able to see her again helped me get through the termination of our sessions (and spilling my guts to her about everything I was feeling).

It sounds like you are really thinking this through, and like JM said before and I repeated, you are very brave. I'd like to think there's a way you can get the best treatment possible without losing your T, even if the relationship shifts a bit.
