She knows that I literally do see her as a mom and that's probably why she hesitated to question the boundaries with it.
And this I think is the problem. She shouldn't have done it- were you tying your own shoes even an option there? I'd feel out of control, like a small child not even able to tie her own shoes let alone go through an evaluation.
I do think this is reenacting a pattern but not in a healing way.
Thanks for this!
