SAWE, I read your comments and didn't get that at all. Here is another possible perspective....My husband didn't like me going to counseling of any kind, especially with a male T. When I would come home from a session, he would make comments asking, how my "boyfriend" was that day?
Could your T possibly sense a similiar burden being placed on you? Perhaps, your T is concerned about you and of the implications that continuing therapy might have on your relationship with this family member. Maybe T wants you to realize that the decision is yours, and s/he will respect it. IMHO, your T may want you to know they realize how difficult it might be for you and while they want you to stay, they would understand your need to leave. I may be totally off base but just a thought.
