I do indeed have serious issues with the holidays in general. I had a counselor for a while this year who was pushing my boundaries. Out of the blue she said she was leaving to go to a new assignment just before the holidays. My best laid plans being scattered. I really tried to get another one to get me through them but I have not been successful. There must be some reason things played out as they did and perhaps one is to be more self reliant. I can't even feel the counselor abandoned me as she was bouncing on my boundaries so certainly not in tune with me at all.
More practice in letting go. I have not reached adulthood yet because I still do not want to.
You are looking for the lesson, that's good. Just keep keeping on. I know the growth that you have had in the last couple of years has been tremendous. If you haven't reached adulthood, you are at least getting closer. I know how that feels.
I'm sorry you are stuck for a counselor, but like you said, maybe thats in HPs plan. Maybe you can get to an extra meeting. That always helps me.
In recovery,

My husband lost his favorite doctor too. He found a temp one, but then also utilized his sponsor more. Perhaps you could look for a sponsor to help you through this until you find another one. Love and blessings to you and your family.
