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.

My T is the one who first said "I'm breaking my rule" to me when she replied, or maybe it was the time she wrote "happy birthday" to me. It isT's rule--not to reply to my emails so breaking the rule seems like a logical way to describe it.
Somehow you got the wrong idea about my Mom. She gave me a lot of attention. I didn't have to do anything to get it. If you're thinking about my finger, I didn't want her to see it. I think I was afraid to go to the Dr. I don't remember if my parents saw it or not. My mother was over protective. If she thought it was broken, she and my father would have insisted I see the doctor!
I agree that I should think about the replies more. I'm tired and not concentrating well. I've got something new to worry about, not related to therapy.
