You know, Newtus, although your therapist can never *be* your mother, she can certainly fill a mother-like role in your life, and through that process it might fill some holes your own mother has created in your heart.
And as far as the hospitalizations - listen - if you were my daughter (I'm old enough
), and I saw you in the kind of shape you were in, I would have marched you to the hospital. Some things can only be dealt with in a contained environment. The hospitalizations are not punishment. It's part of the caring. As a mother of three grown children, I know that along the way, I have made decisions that weren't popular with them, but it was always because I had their best interests at heart. Try to think of your hospitalizations in that context.
