Naturally it would be taken out of context, as we are only hearing how you're portraying it.

From your T's response, it seems as though she is able to let your behavior not affect her, which is good for her. It's certainly not healthy modeling, which is what I find incredibly important in therapy. I need someone to help me see what good boundaries are, healthy behavior, something I can emulate and work towards as I've had a dysfunctional upbringing.

But maybe that's not what's important in your therapy...or at least, not yet. It seems to me that she is playing the role of the "all accepting parent that loves unconditionally, regardless of poor behavior"....Maybe down the road, she will be able to help you see how destructive that behavior can be to relationships.
