I don't expect my T to care about me like she cares about her family or friends. I don't want her to be attached to me like I am to her. I know she means more to me than I do to her. But that's okay. I'm dependent on her. My cirlce of people is really small, so I care more about the ones who are there than say if I had a ton of people in my circle. My T says it's because of all the abandonment mixed in with me being shy and "picky" about who I let in. My T doesn't need me. She has her own supports. But she wants to be a support for me. I think that's pretty special. I don't think I'd be a good enough friend to her if I could. But I get to have her in my life. And she cares! And sge said she won't abandon me...in those words! How can I ask for anything more from her? I love her, and I accept her boundaries.
