I'm sorry, but this really pisses me off. It's such a small thing for you to ask for, and the harm from her saying no is far worse than any dreaded dependency she fears. I really hate to see this kind of thing, and I hope you've worked it out.
I continue to be astonished by the way therapists pathologize normal desires. Over an effing marble. Sheesh.
