You have months to start planning--no need to return home next summer, it is clear that you need help so you don't return home ever. I hope you can be as open with your T as you were in the phone call.

What concerns me is that you spoke of grad school...does that mean mom pays and you have to return every summer? Oh no I hope not. I am a fan of higher education and all but a grad school degree is not worth the price of being controlled by a monster.

You are doing so well. Please take care --- feelings can pass but actions are permanent.
