You know better than anybody when you're ready to fly from the nest, so why isn't she joyfully celebrating that with you? It seems a bit... deflating.

Deflating. That's the perfect word. Thank you. Sometimes I think she sees herself in me or something, and I want to say but t I'm not you, I'm me, and it's time for me to go. It's not her fault it just is what it is. I mean she did show her joy and celebrate with me session before last when I told her that my life is finally more interesting than coming there. But then the other evening it was like she'd never heard me say that. Maybe she forgot? (She never forgets though) and said things like "You'll come back after taking a break and there will be more." But here's the thing. I'm happy with what we've accomplished. I've done what I set out to do and then some. A lot more than what I ever dreamed could come out of this whole experience. I think I should write that on a piece of paper and take it with me next week and say it exactly like that.
Thank you for hearing what I didn't know how to say.
