Hey, Soliaree, I did fine with my T and it only took 9+ years, 1996-2005 :-) My biggest problem was my stepmother and working through my childhood with her. My mother died when I was a toddler, was sick all my life, and my stepmother and I were not a good match (my father remarried when I was 5). I started back in therapy when my stepmother started to get senile and issues from my early childhood started to come back up. I had "merged" my mothers and that was one of the big successes I had from therapy, getting them separated. I had seen this T from 1978-1987 too but I was a "shell" when I first saw her and we worked that whole time on getting me to be a person :-) I met my husband-to-be in 1984 and he was very supportive/valuable to me with my second batch of therapy. But I worked through almost all of the transferrence to mothers and fathers, etc. and termination has turned out well (which worried me a great deal as I didn't do it too well in 1987, the first time I did it but we were able to work all that through also). My stepmother died in 2001 while I was still in therapy and that worked out well too. Therapy has been one of the best things in my life so far.
