At the risk of being a toxic Pollyanna, I am so impressed that you are able to get in touch with that kind of anger. It sounds like your parents (and your mom in particular?) really failed you when you needed them. This seems like the kind of thing that sets one up for life-long depression, so I hope you and your T have been able to dig into it.

I've been getting too-frequent-for-my-taste check-ins from my emotionally absent mother too. Extra "help" from the extremely unhelpful is the last thing one needs during a global emergency.
