Thanks, Muffly. I'll try to give her some of the benefit of the doubt, but it seems to me she knows what to do (I've asked for very appropriate things, in line with the boundaries we've kept all these years), but she just refuses to do it. I think it's more a matter of energy -- the energy she's using to grieve her husband and now the energy she's using to plan her retirement before she leaves. There's just nothing left for me, and I can't imagine there's anything left for her other clients either. But she won't admit it. That makes it very hard to deal with.
She has always said we would keep in touch. Originally, we talked about lunches; now we're talking about phone calls and coffee.
It's just too much to handle.
