I said I felt I needed to express some grievances too, like tell my dad that it hurt that he said he would start calling me on Skype but never did.
I guess I wanted T to validate my feelings.
T said as long as I was doing it for myself and not having expectations for how my family members will respond then it's ok.

Do you feel that you have made progress in the 4 yrs you have been seeing this T? Are you learning to express your feelings now? Have you made progress on your anger?
Maybe you feel like crying because you are frustrated with the progress that is being made?
