Yes, I think so. I think we both blew it. I was harsh, that is for sure. But she is there to work with me constructively, and she definitely wasn't doing that or managing the session. Admittedly, I think I'm hard to manage, and this was absolutely an off night for her. Very very off.

Edited to add: I was thinking about our overall relationship and like you said- how this was one bad moment, that when we are very close to anyone, and spend significant energy/time with them, there are bound to be conflicts. I mean, I love my daughter way more than anything in the universe, but we certainly aren't always peaceful, same with my husband. And though therapy is safer, all relationships can have conflict, this one is still a lot smaller than once in my outside life. Sigh. I was thinking about the good times, and that I do appreciate her and show it, and that we have such good conversations, and how she is almost always there for me, so reliable.

I have to see how it goes, I guess.
