You're right. The not knowing is horrible. And even worse since that stupid therapist told me that he was never coming back. I at least held hope that one day I'd hear some sort of reason. I do appreciate her telling me he wasn't dying, and her tone implied it's nothing like that.
If you have any idea of how I can find out, please tell me. He worked alone. His phone is now disconnected (causing another evening of sobs). The stupid therapist with the agency he referred to let me know that she found out what's wrong with him from the grapevine. There's a whole grapevine out there, with people who don't give a darn about him, who know what's going on. But a client cant' find out because it's "confidential".
And there's no point trying to communicate at all with her or anyone else from there. I'm identified as the crazy client now. Nothing I say will break through their complacency.
I've googled, and will continue to google. I've found several things it *isn't*.
The irony was that if someone had just given me minimal information, I wouldn't even be looking. It's like a celebrity wedding. The best way to avoid a mob scene is to release wedding photos. I don't want or need to know details about his personal life. It may seem like I want to know the gory details, and it's hard for me to explain the difference. What I need to know is about what happened and will happen between us. Something more than "extended medical leave" "probably longer than four months" and just the vaguest hint that it might be never.
But his phone is disconnected. No one who knows him will say anything to the crazy patient. Short of contacting his wife, which will probably have the same result anyway, or hiring a private investigator, I'm at a loss.
