Not really. She's actually more understanding towards my mother than I am. Then again, I wasn't abused or anything. My mom is kinda nuts (suspect my issues are from her side of the family), unpredictable, and not at all supportive or trusting of me, but realistically not an awful mother. And I learned last year that my mom grew up in an emotionally volatile possibly abusive household, so all things considered she could be much worse. I do have many, many issues from my relationship with my mom though, so sometimes I wish my T would express something about it. I think my T works more under the thought that what I do have control over is my reaction to others, so she focuses on what I can do now.

T has expressed anger, though, towards the many self-deprecating thoughts I throw at myself though, even said (very seriously) I should tell those thoughts "F*** you! Go away!" when they come up and I start to spin in them. My T was also adamant about the date r*** experiences not being my fault. Not at my mom, though...
