I think I would agree with seldomseen that the relationship with your current T is worth saving. That's really my main concern, that you're discarding a relationship that the two of you have put a lot of yourselves into, because of issues that are in the background.
I guess I just wonder if this isn't stemming from the anger and disappointment you have about what happened with your old T, and if you aren't to some degree blaming your T for how it turned out. It seems somehow that the feelings from the recent attempt to see your old T haven't been resolved, particularly because your T intervened in it, and by trying to help, perhaps ineffectually or even counter-productively, now seems to be somewhat to blame for its going so wrong.
I do think that trying to go back to that and work more on how upset and angry you are-- or how hurt and betrayed you feel-- even if it's very painful-- might be really important. Or maybe if it's too hard to talk about that, at least to try to talk about your feelings about your T's role in how it played out.
I'm really really sorry about how hurt and abandoned you feel.
