Maybe this is the beginning of working through it in therapy? I see you really looking at this and examining what it means to feel cared for. It’s hard to hold side-by-side the relationship you thought you had and this shift in the relationship.
I think of the caring in the therapeutic relationship as similar to that of a teacher with students. When I taught littles, I genuinely cared for them. But they weren’t mine. They moved in and out of my life. But that doesn’t diminish the care I had for them, and I still think of them fondly.
