Like the time in the early 80's I told T I got married over the weekend. She was livid! I didn't think it was that big of a deal. Now of course I realize there was a lot more "wrong" (i.e., disconnected, unaware, in denial) with ME, maybe not so much to DO such a thing, but to not be able to understand why she would be angry with me.

This bond thing is apparently pretty important to the therapist, they believe that's the avenue of change. So they are pretty protective or sensitive about it. Sign me, dismissively attached to mother, securely attached to T?
So Ts are protective and jealous. I can believe that. But when I asked her, my T was dismissive of the idea that she might be jealous.

I don't know what "sign me" means. My mother was unsatisfactory and I regard T as my mother now. I take her flowers on Mother's Day.
