Riptide

I actually have ridgid boundaries...this is part of why I am a little surprised to be having any kind of feelings at all about someone else setting a boundary! In 6 1/2 years my T has never had to "correct" or set any boundaries with me because she's actually been trying to relax mine a little! Their visits usually suck...although my relationship with my father has improved a lot. My mother seems worse than ever to me though. Anyways...they will only be here 4 days and two of those days I have finals and a t appointment. Then the day of the graduation I will be busy for more than half the day. And I have my partner as a constant (and very adept) buffer. Plus T makes herself available by phone at any hour when my parents come to town...never have called her "after hours", but the option is available during these times.

As for my T...like I said, I would never expect her to be around my parents unless it was a planned thing, in her office (which she has offered before when mother was in town). I absolutely agree with T on this...I just wish it wasn't this way and have some feelings about it.
