I have "adopted" teachers as my mother. I am trying not to be too attached to T. I do this by constantly reminding myself how I pay by the minute. I'm probably short changing my own therapy, but it's worth it to avoid the pain!

It also helps that my T coldly told me my time was up in the midst of an intense flashback. I stumbled to my car and could barely drive home. So, I will never see her as maternal after that.

I like her and she has helped me. But her caring ends when the time is up.

I have so many needs, and I ache for a mom. It's embarrassing.
