so we talkeda lot about my mother in law here to ( help) with my recovery . how frustrated i am with her being here and how my husband is not himself .anyway she is here another week and is leaving the day i am suppose to have T next and she will be on vacation. i jokingly asked her is she really needed to go on vacation at this time . i was kind of joking but i think she took it a bit to seriously .she seemed to jump on the fact that i said something like this . she said i know its hard on you when i go on vacation ,really . i agree it is never fun when she is away but is it really hard . i told her that i was kind of joking and that i probably shouldn't have said something like that . she said that i sounded like i think that me wishing she would not go on vacation is a bad thing when it was not . she said that it is part if therapy .and that it is ok . . she said that she needs to be a consistency in my life and that it is understandable for a client to have a hard time in her absence and that it is ok if i do . i dont think it is ok at all i never want to be seen as this clingy ,needy, overwhelming,never satisfied ,selfish you never can take time for yourself because i need you to help me through this crisis kind of client . now i feel like this is how she sees me because i made this stupid comment . do peoples T really feel it is ok if you are so attached that you cant cope if they are on vacation. is this normal in the T relationship. she seems to think it is and is ok
