The problem is that OP isn't in therapy, doesn't want therapy, doesn't want to see LC for who she really is, and doesn't want to get better.
I feel so frustrated.
Do I understand how it would feel to run into your T out in public? Hell, yeah. I panic seeing my T in the hallway of her building. But it's the delusion that the OP is holding onto that makes this situation difficult.

You panic when you see your T in the hallway? Then it is also your own delusion that makes that situation difficult. It's not fair to pretend like it's anything different.
I just like to pretend she's my mother. I know she isn't, but what if I actually didn't know that? What if I had a break from reality and had legitimate delusions or hallucinations as plenty of people seem to like to paint this as. Would you really respond to my delusions by yelling at me over the Internet, telling me that I am deliberately trying to not get better and that I'm being "coddled" by people who are just affectionate to me? I highly doubt you would. This is a mental health site. You have no idea who I am or how lucid I am.
Now yes, I do know that she is genuinely not my mother. I know I'm just pretending to make myself feel better. But you don't know LCM at all so I don't know how you can go about saying I need to see her for who she is. You don't even know who she is.
Being patient and compassionate to someone who was abused and is working through stuff and maybe isn't doing the best job and falls down the same hole 50x isn't coddling.
