I can completely relate to your situation and agree with jac10 your T is not your mother.

I have formed a close friendship with an RN at my PHP program, I check in with her daily. She calls me love and Hun. Her voice is so soothing. When I got upset I ran to her office rather to my case manager whom is a male. She calmed me down faster than he could.

I worry what will happen after the program but I'm not even halfway there so it doesn't cross my mind too much.

Good luck and be sure to update.
