I dont think its that exactly. I think its just that my family is not close. And hearing how close she is with hers just bummed me out cause I feel like im never gonna have that. Im married and I have my own mother in law. But my marriage is rocky due to my struggle with intimacy. And my H is not close with his family at all either. I think its just made me feel real down in the dumps cause im not close to my mom or my mother in law and one person I feel getting closer to is T and ive started to see her in motherly way and now theres another person (sons gf) that gets to have a close mother like relationship with her (or the potential to) and ive still got this lame therapy patient attachment to her like shes my mommy and shes not. its just depressing.
