One of my goals for therapy was to be able to "do without therapy", so I know that I have to go through this pain to get to the other side. I can't make my T my whole life, and though it's hard, my T and I have the same goal.

She "breaks" what rule? There are no rules in being human with each other. To describe it as breaking a rule is distancing, pretending youre not depending on her, which makes the longing worse. This makes me wonder, how bad did something have to get before it was worth your mother's attention? So now how does that result in you not asking or expecting full attention - you call it breaking a rule, when it should always have been freely and generously given to you.when t attended to me when i was in the hospital, he wasnt breaking any rules - he was totally doing his job.
You are getting do many good responses here. You might want to think more about what people are saying, and try to really figure out what they are trying to say to you. More in depth, not just skating the surface.
