I know the thought of not having him in my life is excruciatingly painful and I can feel the the weak desire to leave just start fading away. Even though I say I love my therapist I am not even sure if that is what it is.

I get that, I think. It's different from me, you're different from me. But - and I could be wrong, other people may disagree with me or see me differently or, or, or. . .
What I see in your statement in the OP about your T IS love. A child's love for a parent figure, maybe, but a starting point. An innate starting point maybe, who knows, but It's in you, a part of, a capacity in you now. What I worked so hard to disentangle in myself and which maybe? Is more independent or well-known or something, I recognize in what you wrote about your T. So I recognize it, I value it, that is maybe something people need in our early life and if we don't get that recognition by somebody, yeah, how can we know? It's tough.
But it is there in you, I believe that. Is there any smidgen of you that feels or thinks it may be possible? A tiny smidge of a starting point, that's something.
And maybe you'd like to define your princess differently, but . . .It's a princess that I see in you and would definitely be worth Mario going through so much.
