" Dear E. Jean: I&amp;#039;m a 19-year-old college girl in love with a 39-year-old man. I wish that were the only obstacle! He&amp;#039;s also a friend of my mother&amp;#039;s; he&amp;#039;s married; and he&amp;#039;s my therapist. He told me he loved me and I gave up my virginity to him. Now his wife has found out and has threatened to divorce him and take the kids.  He&amp;#039;s cut off all contact with me! I&amp;#039;m overwhelmed and depressed. Worse, I have no one to talk to! Obviously our relationship was secret. So now I&amp;#039;m begging you for advice. Should I try to move on? Or should I wait for this man? \u2014Desperate and Despondent My dear, dear Miss Desperate: I don&amp;#039;t wish to frighten you\u2014your poor heart requires the tenderest care\u2014but this monster trashed his authority as your therapist. My dear, keeping it a secret will cause you greater pain. You were vulnerable and trusting, and when you ended your letter with &amp;quot;Should I wait for this man?&amp;quot; it became achingly clear how much damage he caused. Go to your university health center. Begin therapy with a female psychiatrist or psychologist. Keeping it a secret is causing you ever greater pain. I know. I know. You love him. And if I advise you to report him to your state mental health authority, you&amp;#039;ll ignore me. So please, tell your new therapist his name. Then you can concentrate on processing what happened to you, receive the understanding and guidance you deserve, and, with time, get on with your wonderful young life.
