What a tough situation

Perhaps going and talking REALLY openly about what you're feeling will help? Maybe if she understands that what she is doing (the excessive praise) isn't helpful, she could tone it down.

My T used to always, ALWAYS say at the end of phone messages "take care of your kids and your family" and it made me so mad...all I DO is take care of my kids and my family! I need him to tell me to take care of me! And I told him, and he literally never said it again. He said he KNOWS I take care of them, and it was just a way of ending the message. So now he says "take care of you"

I know that is much smaller than what you're dealing with, but a good T is able to hear the feedback of their client and make adjustments when it's possible.

If nothing else, I agree with Sunny that it might be nice to get a sense of closure.

I'm sorry that this is so hard, griffin.
