Echos — I am not understanding the issue, I think.

I don’t see anything at all wrong with having wished him or even straight up telling him (which you didn’t) the wish for him to be a father to you.

I don’t see why that is remotely perceived as a threat by him.

I don’t see how that is putting yourself “alongside” (super weird phrasing) his children.

But, even if that is true, so bloody what?

That is the stuff of therapy.

I don’t get your therapist’s logic in all this, at all.
