I know I can talk to her, but I don't want to. I need her to take my pain seriously, not to make excuses. She's going to have her vacations no matter what I do or how I feel. She is not predictable in her vacations except she takes off a week every month because there's so many federal holidays.
I just hurt. And I don't feel like she gets it.

I'm sorry, Scarlet. It's so hard! Hugs if wanted. What she wrote to you about the roles in your relationship - sorta brings to mind when my L would insist vehemently that "You don't really know
me". I know it's not exactly the same thing but it's similar, in that it's still a slap-in-the-face reminder that it's a quote unquote professional relationship, that I was "just" her job and nothing more. And that hurt.
I sincerely hope you're able to work through all of this with her.
