granite, do you mean by amusement, people are viewing but not posting? I think many people identify with you, are very interested in your progress, and care about you. I think what happened today in session reflects what happened this weekend with the mother. whether or not your T knows about the tickets, you showed T how you feel - you showed her that you feel nobody listens to you, it doesn't matter what you say. So maybe it wasn't a wasted session, because that truth was demonstrated - the mother wants her own way regardless of what you want. Christmas comes early at PC, unfortunately. T's should know that and allow for it.
