I have and I've had those thoughts. But, I also think that one was replaced by another. So, while I didn't see my 1st grade teacher anymore, she was replaced by a camp counselor. I think I then went through a phase of not wanting to attach to anyone. And, now there's T.

Probably the hardest part is that I saw this T. for a few years off and on before. And, it was "normal" then. I didn't care about how much time in between as it was mainly problem solving. So, adult me really thinks "why are you being this way when she hasn't changed" but I know it's due to my mom's death. Maybe I just don't like having someone have such an affect on me.
