As for knowing that my T has a mother, I am aware, maybe even too aware. I saw a FB photo that my T’s sister posted saying “Happy Mother’s Day to a mom who keeps on giving” or something like that. In the photo he’s hugging his mother and his sister. It sure doesn’t seem like he has mother issues although I know it’s just a photo. I guess I also understand that he doesn’t have to have had my issues in order to help me with them. Seeing that photo was strange though.

Yeah, I'm finding it easier to discuss my mother issues with my male therapist. I could understand being upset by seeing that on Facebook, but remember that Facebook is not reality. People tend to put the best image of themselves out there. If someone from the outside looked at my Facebook, they'd probably be like "What could she possibly need therapy for? She looks like she has a wonderful, happy life!" Or even looking back at family photo albums, I'm smiling in some picture, but I remember that deep down, was horribly depressed and/or anxious at the time.
