It sounds as if you want to know what you mean to him, etc, & are bringing along this fairly complicated story as a cover--although you'd like to discuss that with him too. Why not just ask straight out about the kids & your job? Why the appearance of asking your T personal questions that might make him think you're asking for different reasons?

I am attempting to blend personal and professional insight with these questions. I want to ask her the personal question to see if she reacts similarly (personally) to her clients as I do my own. It is more rooted in the personal because I am having a personal reaction to my own client. If she doesn't want to answer the question, I would be disappointed, but that is her right. I believe she will answer the question from all angles because she tends to share both her personal and professional views freely. I will tell her up front that I also want to know how she feels about me. She will probably say that I should know how she feels because she has expressed that she loves me both verbally and through actions she has taken. She has called us "colleagues" several times because our careers parallel each other's and I wanted to blend the personal and professional aspects of what is going on. We talk shop on occasion and do like to "disarm" her at times. In nine months, she has never refused to answer any question I have asked her.
