I visited my family for a week and had a good time. I missed 2 sessions but it didn't bother me. But often I feel disappointed by my family and I'm thinking my expectations may be too high because of the care I get from T.

I probably shouldn't have said it, but when I was back home I told my daughter in a phone conversation that I feel like my T cares more about me than they do. I got the expected tirade of "you pay her to care. She's not your friend, etc." I tried to clarify that I FEEL like T cares more, not that she does. I feel like my family just tolerates grandma. They don't ask how I am or make me feel wanted. Not like my T does. I know we love each other, and it's always hectic with the family so I'm probably being unfair. My daughter and I talked about it and that helped. Still, I do feel like T shows more concern for me than my own family does. And it IS because it's her job and I pay her. I think it makes me expect more, though. She has to listen to me go on and on about things while my family can call me annoying. That's just an example.

I suppose I have to try harder with my family and realize they aren't my T! I don't know the point of this thread. At least I didn't argue with my daughter about how much T cares. That wasn't the point. I just wanted some caring and love from my family.
