I would say your ts were modeling adult relationships, which your parents were unable to do, so in that sense, yeah a bit of reparenting. They held you in that space, where perhaps you hadnt been held before. To have a reasonable expectation of another adult.
Its not that ANY such relationship is reparenting. But when it is a repairing relationship with a t, i think it is reasonable to call it reparenting, if that is what it is repairing. And look at the word repair - what is the etymology of that?
