I think that given the nature of the OP's attachment, that LC should have told her that she would be there. Not to protect and shield her from every little thing, and not to help carry on the fantasy that the OP is her daughter, but just a heads up, a courtesy.

Growli and her LC would have had an opportunity to process it, and it still is something that would have happened….its not like the LC would be avoiding the concert hall bc her client worked there.

Frankly, I don't have a desire to be my T's daughter, and honestly, if she came to my place of employment with her kid and didn't tell me beforehand, I would think it was…odd, and would find it somewhat jarring.

That being said….it happened, and now Growli, you have to decide how you are going to proceed going forward. This could be a big opportunity for growth. What are you thinking?
