I miss what I used to have with my T. I know that means I'm "growing up" but I wish I didn't have to. Our relationship seems more adult, or maybe it's because I had an adult topic to discuss yesterday. The feelings were childlike, but it seems like my T didn't want to "go there". I wish we could have done IFS with the child parts, but instead, she said "radical acceptance" sounded like the best idea, and that I should realize that my relationship with my grandchild will change, just like it has with the other grandchildren. It was all so practical, that I left feeling let down.

I think this is all part of the separation process and I have to realize that I can still feel connected to my T. The question is "how"?
