Hi All,

I'm hoping this will make sense as I'm going to try and make a long story short.

When I first went to my T, I was in the middle of an abusive marriage (didn't realize it at the time), feeling down and I was working on wanting to change myself in order to save my marriage. I was married to a man with a mood disorder, who wasn't taking responsibility for himself and taking things out on me. I tried so hard to find a way to help him, but I couldn't convince him to get help. And the helpers couldn't help until he asked and wanted their help. My T even suggested another T in her office (her supervisor) that would be good for him. Fast forward three months into my therapy and my husband at the time files for divorce (he wanted to be with both of his girlfriends). Fast forward more time the divorce is finalized and the kids (ex and I have two children together) and I are out of the house and living with my parents.
So, now I've been in therapy for over 20 months with my T. Sometimes I trust her and other times I think she needs therapy more than I do. I'm having trust issues due to a lot of betrayal in my marriage and possibly from a trauma earlier on in my childhood. Anyway, there have been things that have happened during sessions that make me a little leery of telling my T everything. I tend to leave out some information. Sometimes that's just due to time and what I deem important at the time.

So, this week I find out through an odd way (long story) that my T's supervisor, who is also the CEO of the clinic is actually a friend of ex hubby's!!! I'm pretty sure this particular super/T doesn't know the whole story about my ex and how our stories are related (ex can be extremely charming and has everyone believing that I'm crazy). According to my ex this supervisor/T/CEO and he have worked out getting a T for our son. My ex is NOT suppose to just decide this and schedule appointments due to our legal custody agreement. Another odd thing is that I work with this supervisor too (my T's supervisor). He works in two different places-with T and with me.
For some reason I feel like I have lost trust in this particular clinic and don't know what to do. I'm also at a loss on what to do about my ex. He's horrible to deal with! He harasses me by phone and e-mail on an almost daily basis about whatever comes to his mind or whatever he is angry about at the time. I know my T wants nothing to do with him and she told me that she feels sorry for who ever ends up working with him. She even avoids certain events that she knows he's going to be at.

Anyway, just wondering if any of you have experienced anything like this or have any suggestions. T and I are in the termination phase anyway, so I probably won't be seeing her for much longer.
