Basically everything you said, sums up my relationship with my T also.

She'd be absolutely fine without me, of course. She might remember me from time to time. I probably have a more negative view of this than she does. I'm sure she's said things before that I just can't remember. I think she has said that she would miss me. She has also said that she cares. ultimately, I know she wants to help me the best that she can, so that I can get out there and live my life without her help. I know she's conscious of how difficult the financial side of it is for me, also. Sometimes she'll suggest that I see someone else, because I'd save money and it always really upsets me...how easy it would be for her to send me on my way!

I think connection is probably the right way to describe it. She has a healthy connection with me... and I'm the one who is really, quite attached!
