I can relate. It is perfectly normal to need that out of session contact especially in cases such as yours. The humane thing for any person to do would be to acknowledge what you're going back through and to at least Respond even with a few words. It doesn't have to be a full blown out conversation. I think that some Ts feel that out of session contact will become into an additional session. Although this might be true for
Some people it's not the case in most. During difficult times in between sessions it's normal for clients to need additional contact.
My T was okay with text and email and then I would like to say that she grew tired of it. I was going through major difficulties at the time and the one a week session was nowhere near enough with what I was going through outside of sessions. Needless to say it's difficult not having contact outside of session. I still have that issue and I just started therapy again. I learned to internalize my feelings but now I let no one into my world because I feel like I'm a nuisance to everyone. So I adjusted differently and every time I feel like contacting her j remember that she doesn't get paid for it and she's busy with other clients and family matters. I give her space. this was the end result of the no contact situation. It's definitely not easy.
