I don't think it's a two-way street really. Yes, they care about you and worry about you if you terminate abruptly. They have feelings. But they have to learn to contain their feelings or they would be too vulnerable. I have come close to suicide on three occasions and I know my p-doc cares and worries. He calls my husband and daughter, calls me, tells me to go to the ER. He cares. But if I suicided, he would move on. My husband and daughter, on the other hand, would be devastated. That thought and that thought alone has kept me alive.
