Sometimes the way people try to be kind to us, is not the way that we were conditioned in childhood to receive affection, and it can be very confusing and hurtful. But please try to have faith that she wants what is healthy for you. I know it can feel really sucky, though.
I just wish I could forget about her like that and just see her as my health visitor and nothing more. It didn't help when she text me saying

I respect you for the person you are and I do care about what happens to you. I know what emptyness feels like which is why I work so hard to fil that space. Your going to come through this a stronger person for it.

and then she ignores me I dont understand.
