I think part of it is because I have maternal transference with my T, and because I think she's super awesome. But I also only have one parent, my mom, but no dad. So maybe part of it is just wanting a second parent, and my T happens to be a female, so it would be a second mom, rather than a dad. And it's not like I would want my T to be my mom instead of my mom, but that I'd want her to be my mom as well.
