He was on legitimate medical leave. If you think that means he had no responsibility to do more than he did under those circumstances, then consider me completely unreasonable in my expectations. I'm perfectly happy for you to think so. I won't even deny it.
It doesn't make any difference whether my expectations were reasonable and he failed me or my expectations were unreasonable. I can never again feel safe with him in ongoing therapy for fear this will happen again, and in the same way. At this point in my therapy, it is critical for me to feel safe with him. Therefore, continuing therapy with him would be a total waste of time and money, and quite destabilizing for me.
It may not be your choice if you were in a similar situation. It may not be your reaction in a similar situation. But it's mine, and I'm not going to continue therapy under these conditions just because someone else might choose to do so.
