I get the message. I have to stop letting my child out and tell her to grow up and get over it.

It's the mother self who needs to function right now. The mother that I am needs to take care of her family. It's all that matters. I need to be able to advocate for my son.

Need it be only one or the other at a time? They are both parts of your self. You have many parts. It is challenging but exciting to learn to embrace them all (not that I've been very successful at this, lol).

I am glad you reconnected with your T over the phone. Your phone calls sound like such an important part of your therapy. It is great how you two use this tool. Good luck in tomorrow's session.
