We are in quite a close relationship: not the same as family, but therapeutic family, where she's in the 'good enough' mother role, and I do have similar feelings to yours sometimes about it. It's lovely to be cared about in a maternal way. I know the difference between an actual birth mother and my therapist, and I appreciate it for what it is.

Yeah, my T is always encouraging me to reach out to others and to create a sort of "family" of people who aren't from my messed up, broken home. She believes that it can be very healing to have those types of close relationships with those who are healthy.
