That statement/observation makes it sound like an anxiety dream. Her behavior is unpredictable (true enough) and she's going to leave (also true, only it's temporary). But those true things don't mean that you're at the mercy of her actions. As you point out, she's not driving you. But she is causing you a lot of worry.

Just a few session in with my current therapist, I had a dream in which she was wobbly, I reached out to steady her. There were at least two elements of my dream that were true in her life, but not things I could have known (one she told me when I shared the dream and the other I learned later). The way it seemed to me (and she agreed) was that she's not infallible and our relationship is equal. She is not more powerful or perfect. The dream humanized her and made me feel more comfortable moving forward.
Thanks for this!
