Melba, I think it's wonderful that your daughter could express the way she misses her friend and more wonderful that you could then express your feelings about missing your T to her. So now, even if your daughter may not understand completely, you are not as alone with the relationship.

I also want to say I understand what you mean because I've felt the same way. You described it perfectly--"alone with the relationship." I could never get anyone to understand except those who have also been in therapy. My H just thinks I've been "in love" with my Ts. I've given up trying to get him to understand. I don't think anyone can truly get it unless it's happened to them. The therapeutic relationship is unique.
